> Come off it guys... the NaNoWriMo org already said they aren't endorsing the use of AI to write your entire submission for you.

Maybe I'm reading different critiques, but the angry people I've read have been upset with the labeling of condemnation of using AI to write as classest or ableist.

> They're just saying they aren't going to categorically condemn AI across the board. Seems like a perfectly reasonable position to me. Especially given that pretty much everything - human generated OR AI generated - builds on "that which came before".

Given how much AI-generation undercuts the core premise of the activity—writing out text—I don't really follow you. Besides if someone produces art of any merit the creator hardly needs the endorsement of NaNoWriMo to appear legitimate.
