You’re basically stealing from other people when you use LLMs without constraints, that’s more classist and ableist

If I were unable to write a novel in a month¹ but really wanted to and some smug little shit came up to me and offered to ghost write it for me, I would not be happy. How is SALAMI generated text any different?

1: I definitely can’t.

The audacity to tout classism and ableism as reasons as to why people should “get to” use LLMs for their “write a novel in a month” challenge…

Even when someone’s inability to write a novel in a month is because of their class or disability, I somehow doubt they want to let a machine write their novel for them. I mean, it’s not like NaNoWriMo is a way to put food on the table or something, right?!!

This feels like the arguments Mid journey fellators fanboys were spouting a year ago (or has it been two?) on how not everyone can afford a school of fine arts 🙄

How did they manage to make a shorted version of the name more kludgy than just saying the full name?

NaNoWriMo did not say that ‘not writing your novel with AI is classist and ableist’.

What they did say however is almost worse:

We also want to be clear in our belief that the categorical condemnation of Artificial Intelligence has classist and ableist undertones, and that questions around the use of AI tie to questions around privilege.

So you’re classist and ableist and probably privileged if you’re against the use of AI.
