The Nanowrimo peeps shouldn’t have referenced ableism, classism, and privilege in their recent post about AI.

But I don’t understand why a person would be categorically opposed to all uses of whatever-is-being-called-AI-this month in a creative pursuit.

(The majority of my use of AI has been getting suggestions for cat names, so that tells you how much you should pay for this opinion.)

There are ways to use AI, for example as a prompt or name generator, that are not “getting it to write your whole novel.” Why would someone object to such uses?

The Nanowrimo posts everyone is piling on already say that using AI to do the actual writing misses the point.
It’s a problem for creators that so far no copyright law covers what AIs can consume, but that’s a separate issue from whether they have legitimate uses.

I seem to be at variance with most of my opinion bubble about this issue. Feel free to tell me what I’m missing.
