That said, I don't know exactly what is allowed or disallowed with AI help in the contest, so I may be way off. I see NaNoWriMo has issued a note of "clarification" on their use of "classist and ableist."

We apologize that our original message was unclear and seemingly random. Our note on ableism and classism was rooted in the desire to point out that, for people in certain circumstances, some forms of AI can be life-changing. We certainly don’t believe those with concerns about AI to be classist or ableist. Not being more careful about our wording was a bad decision on our part.

No mention, however, of their AI sponsor.
