„The nonprofit National Novel Writing Month organization (NaNoWriMo) published an FAQ outlining its position on AI, calling categorical rejection of AI writing technology „classist“ and „ableist.“ The statement caused a backlash online, prompted four members of the organization’s board to step down, and prompted a sponsor to withdraw its support.
After word of the FAQ spread, many writers on social media platforms voiced their opposition to NaNoWriMo’s position. Generative AI models are commonly trained on vast amounts of existing text, including copyrighted works, without attribution or compensation to the original authors. Critics say this raises major ethical questions about using such tools in creative writing competitions and challenges.
„Generative AI empowers not the artist, not the writer, but the tech industry. It steals content to remake content, graverobbing existing material to staple together its Frankensteinian idea of art and story,“ wrote Chuck Wendig.
Daniel José Older, a lead story architect for Star Wars: The High Republic and one of the board members who resigned, wrote on X, „Hello u/NaNoWriMo, this is me DJO officially stepping down from your Writers Board and urging every writer I know to do the same. Never use my name in your promo again in fact never say my name at all and never email me again. Thanks!“
Ableist and classist, what bullshit. Writing is art, having something else do your writing for you is not.
They should have asked ChatGPT before publishing that.
Hmmmm. Perhaps they did!
There’s a reason we still watch high level chess competition even though ai plays better. If you allow ai in a writing competition, that’s fine, but you should probably make a new competition for that, not co-opt one.
Neil Clarke of Clarkesworld Magazine has had to read numerous AI-generated short stories after their submissions queue was flooded with them starting late last year. Based on that, he concluded that the best AI-generated stories are still worse than the worst human-generated stories.
