Apparently NaNoWriMo are both happy to accept money from an AI startup and say that refusing to "write" with the use of AI is "classist and ableist" in their statement.

We also want to be clear in our belief that the categorical condemnation of Artificial Intelligence has classist and ableist undertones, and that questions around the use of AI tie to questions around privilege.

I cite my sources.

Not only am I deleting my own NaNoWriMo account but I strongly encourage all writers to do so.

As with previous years' shenanigans surrounding Inktober, by all means continue the practice of NaNoWriMo, but do not associate with the organization.

(Though, I will say, on a personal level, waiting to a specific month to start work on a project is just silly, and in this unrelated essay I will-)
