The sad thing is that organisationally AI idiocy is one of the smaller examples of Nanowrimo shitting the bed this year. There was a scandal last November where they gave some deeply unsafe people access to their Young Writer's Program, including someone who tried to recruit people for an adult site

Following this they shut their forums and said they were going to make all their volunteers do background checks, kicking out all their municipal liaisons to reapply for their positions in February. It's now one month from nanowrimo and they haven't reappointed any municipal liaisons.
