# AI Gets a Green Light…and a Whole Lot of Side-Eye
Ah, artificial intelligence—our bizarre and all-too-sometimes-awkward future friend. Just when you thought it was safe to take a literary plunge into NaNoWriMo, here comes a whirlwind of controversy that has writers unplugging their keyboards and clutching their hearts. Buckle up, because it seems the robot writers are not only here to stay but also causing some serious drama.
## Key Points
– **NaNoWriMo Controversy**: The organization behind National Novel Writing Month stirred up a hornet’s nest by stating that it neither supports nor condemns the use of AI in writing.
– **Board Resignation**: Four board members decided that being associated with AI in writing wasn’t worth the headache, resigning faster than you can say, “Excuse me, are you a robot?”
– **The Community Reacts**: A collective gasp echoes through the creative community, with everyone asking, “What?! Is this a bad sci-fi movie?”
– **AI: Not All Bad!**: NaNoWriMo suggested that rejecting AI outright might be harboring classist and ableist sentiments—because nothing
