NaNoWriMo: Stop co-opting advocacy language to justify your partnership with AI. I’m an autistic ‘picture thinker’ who writes well one moment while struggling to form sentences the next. But using Chat-GPT erases our distinct neurodivergent voices by making them indistinguishable.

Nanowrimo’s stance on ai: “• Ableism. Not all brains have same abilities and not all writers function at the same level of education or proficiency in the language in which they are writing.
Some brains and ability levels require outside help or accommodations to achieve certain goals. The notion that all writers "should" be able to perform certain functions independently or is a position that we disagree with wholeheartedly. There is a wealth of reasons why individuals can't "see" the issues in their writing without help.”

To any neurodivergent writers who use AI to assist your efforts, that’s fine by me. Just don’t sell yourself short. I’d rather read messy and authentic writing than AI slop that’s usually pretty easy to identify as such. I’d rather see YOUR story than whatever chat-GPT coaxed you into writing.
