Portrait of the author, November 30, 2004, 10:03 p.m.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

NaNoWriMo has come out with a statement of \u201cIf you don\u2019t write the novel yourself, we\u2019re cool with that.\u201d And people have things to say about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaNoWriMo<\/a> \u2014 National Novel Writing Month \u2014 is an annual challenge for aspiring and seasoned authors to write a 50,000-word novel in the space of 30 days, beginning November 1. Who? Anyone. About what? Whatever you want. To publish? If you want. Some have. For others, winning (every finisher is a winner) is enough. The organizers offer resources and encouragement, and it\u2019s a pretty good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am, in fact, myself a NaNoWriMo winner. It was some time ago, but I managed to surf in on a wave of Diet Dr. Pepper at 10:05 p.m. on November 30 with the first draft of a 50,079-word novel that didn\u2019t actually suck. (No idea where it is now. Might look sometime.) It was fun. (Probably won\u2019t do it again. Although apparently, it could be made a lot<\/em> easier this time around.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why are board members resigning, a sponsor withdrawing, and writers condemning the organization<\/a> behind this fun, lighthearted, low-pressure challenge?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y\u2019all.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can this possibly be controversial?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anything can be controversial, if you whiff hard enough. In this case, it was a statement by NaNoWriMo organizers<\/a> (hereinafter: NaNo) outlining their position on AI, in essence saying\u2026 if you\u2019re against it, you\u2019re a bad person. The upshot is that \u201cto categorically condemn AI would be to ignore classist and ableist issues surrounding the use of the technology, and that questions around the use of AI tie to questions around privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? Not all writers have the financial ability to hire humans to help with their writing. Classist.<\/em> Not all brains have the same facility with language and can discern problems with their writing without help. Ableist.<\/em> Underrepresented minorities are less likely to get traditional publishing contracts and have to deal with publishing struggles other authors don\u2019t face. Check your privilege, Lord McPrivilege.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All those things are technically true, yet oddly enough, many in the writing community have been vehemently unconvinced. Four members of the NaNo board resigned, and one sponsor pulled out<\/a> \u2014 Ellipsus, a \u201cprincipled alternative to Google Docs\u201d that has openly and staunchly opposed generative AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI is something I somehow know something about<\/a>. And having a disability is something I know something about<\/a> (from a limited perspective). And writing a 50,000-word book in 29 days, 22 hours, and five minutes is something I know something about. And here\u2019s what happens when you squish all that together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughts from a disabled NaNoWriMo winner who knows some stuff about AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a long and rapidly growing list of AI-assisted tools to help accommodate the multitudinous challenges people with disabilities often face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my part, for instance, writing is, often, pretty much the only way I can express myself reliably and fluently. But I use AI-powered tools to accommodate for the challenges I have. My brain often struggles to turn information I hear into knowledge I can access, so tools that generate meeting transcripts and summaries are huge. When my brain won\u2019t give up a specific word, ChatGPT lets me \u201cWhat\u2019s a word that means \u2018make use of,\u2019 but with a negative implication, like you might be a bad person for doing it?\u201d in a way your standard thesaurus can\u2019t. And those are only two of many such examples accommodating many challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others who have essentially the opposite problem \u2014 challenges expressing themselves through the written word \u2014 also have AI tools at their disposal. AI-assisted voice-to-text apps and word-prediction software can help people with dysgraphia organize their thoughts and turn the words in their head into words on the page. Apps like Grammarly can help people with dyslexia avoid grammar traps and those tricky typos that look like actual words and don\u2019t get caught by traditional spell check. And again: many more examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Used properly \u2014 as a way of assisting the real creative work \u2014 AI tools can do a lot to help level the playing field and mitigate challenges non-disabled writers don\u2019t have to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NO BETA, WE DIE LIKE MEN<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"A
\u201cYeah, actually, if you don\u2019t<\/em> let me write your novel for you, that\u2019s<\/em> actually ableist.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But<\/em> those aren\u2019t the tools NaNo\u2019s critics have been openly critical of, and let\u2019s not kid ourselves that NaNo isn\u2019t aware of that fact. No one is insisting that participants rawdog NaNoWriMo, or that engaging a robot editor to keep their there\/their\/they\u2019res straight constitutes cheating. The concern is about writers instructing ChatGPT to write them an entire novel based on a one-paragraph prompt and passing that off as original work. And for organizers to pretend they don\u2019t understand that is disingenuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here\u2019s a thing: NaNoWriMo output is kind of supposed to suck<\/em>. First drafts suck. The goal isn\u2019t a ready-to-query manuscript at the end of the month, it\u2019s 50,000 more or less coherent words that you could, theoretically, eventually massage into a polished book if you felt so inclined. If you don\u2019t have the resources to hire a professional editor or are faced with institutional barriers to a publishing contract, those are things that seriously need to be addressed<\/em> within the publishing industry. But they have nothing to do with this<\/em> challenge specifically<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaNo\u2019s unwillingness to \u201ccategorically condemn AI\u201d is their way of skirting the controversy about the use of generative<\/em> AI specifically in writing. Because vanishingly few people GAF about using Grammarly. It\u2019s about the use of tools like, say, Gemini<\/a> to generate creative output on behalf of<\/em> a minimally participating prompter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s about the fact that generative AI tools are trained from data sets scraped from the entire internet, so that 50,000-word novel churned out by ChatGPT in 15 hours of a 30-day deadline wouldn\u2019t be possible without the unwilling input of authors who weren\u2019t asked, wouldn\u2019t have consented, and weren\u2019t compensated \u2014 and, most importantly, did the hard part themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writers have words.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So far, aside from the non-statement statement added to their original statement, the organizers have generated nothing but cricket sounds. But as you might expect, many authors have plenty to say, a lot of it centered around the use of marginalized communities as a cover for NaNo\u2019s BS rationalization of their unwillingness to speak on technologies that profit from uncompensated contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many who responded are, themselves, disabled. On Twitter, author Laura Elliott said<\/a>, \u201cDisabled writers do not need the immoral theft machine to write because we lack the ability to be creative without plagiarism \u2014 encouraging AI is a slap in the face to all writers and this excuse is appallingly ableist.\u201d Author C.L. Polk said<\/a> on Bluesky, \u201cNaNo is basically asserting that disabled people don’t have what it takes to create art when they trot out the lie that scorning AI is ableist.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author and resigned NaNo writers board member Daniel Jos\u00e9 Older wrote in an email<\/a> to NaNo, \u201cYour heinous re-configuring of language used to fight actual injustices into a shield to cover your transparently business-based posturing is unforgivable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because that\u2019s what it comes down to: NaNoWriMo organizers intentionally dropping a baby into the bathwater as an excuse to not throw the bathwater out. Intentionally (again: not kidding ourselves) sweeping un<\/em>objectionable AI tools into the conversation so they could label anyone who objected to the objectionable<\/em> parts as classist, ableist, and unexaminedly privileged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here\u2019s where I overstep about as much as I ever allow myself to do: Writers with disabilities often need AI tools to help us turn our thoughts into words. We don\u2019t need AI to write our stories. We don\u2019t need a robot doing our creativity for us. And trying to use us as a shield \u2014 as an excuse to accuse your critics<\/em> of ableism \u2014 for your own gutlessness to speak for yourself is\u2026 What\u2019s the word? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s go with exploitation.<\/em> (Thanks, ChatGPT.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
