Hi, it’s me, a disabled author and disability justice advocate both professionally and as a volunteer.
No. It is not ableist to be against plagiarism machines.
You know what IS ableist, though? Infantilizing neurodivergent and disabled people and then using us as a prop in your argument for AI.

NaNoWriMo is saying it's classist and ableist to be against AI????
This organization has become a fucking joke
Once it fostered creativity, now it sabotages it nanowrimo.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/art...

But advocating against stealing work and harming the environment is where they draw the line. Okay.
Not one disabled author in my circle stoops to theft, and if they did, they wouldn’t be authors.
We are not your bludgeon in your fight to be allowed to steal and destroy the environment while you’re at it. ESPECIALLY not with your organization’s history of treating marginalized authors, particularly disabled ones, poorly.
I am disappointed as someone who participated in the first ever year of NaNo, who believed in its message- anyone can write.
I think some of the volunteer ML were dodgy? Sounds like they blamed autism
So, adding AI to “write” for you is just one of them.
And P struggles to write, but give him dictation software, and BAM. He will tell a story.
I could go on but 300 characters isn't enough to cover this in a way that can't be misunderstood by either side.
