I have deleted my NaNoWriMo account. I could have deleted it last year but I didn't find out about the pΞ΅dophΞΉlΞ΅ issue until after they were already working on resolving it, so I gave them a chance. But openly supporting and encouraging people to use generative AI? Nope. They call it "ableist" and "classist" but what they're really saying is it's okay to cheat to get ahead of someone who's done the work.
@ianthealy I have less of a problem with visual Ai art. I can also see Ai used as a tool for proofreading and editing as useful and timesaving, but I'm not an author.
I *am* a musician and I'm not going to lie, if I can use Ai to add elements to my music which I am unable to do as a solo artist (eg piano) then you're damned right I will use it.
@stueytheround Proofreading and editing is not generative AI (which was trained by scraping copyrighted materials without permission or recompense to the creators).
