TLDR: NaNoWriMo is now sponsored by an AI company, and markets AI writing assistance tools, so they published a blog post to defend this apparent contradiction with their primary goal (i.e., humans writing a novel in 1 month from start to finish). Their nonsensical arguments have resulted in multiple board members leaving, along with blowblack from disabled and poor writers who are insulted that NaNoWriMo justified their marketing of AI tools with the claim that disabled writers and poor need AI to write well.
