    That is crazy because I’ve done NaNoWriMo and Camp NaNoWriMo multiple times before. I wondered if the concept of AI would be a factor and I was surprised the organization would allow it last year. It does feel like cheating to have AI write the whole novel for you, but I can understand if it’s for editing and research purposes.
