I remember #NaNoWriMo's innocent early days of simply cranking out a terrible first draft without your internal editor interfering, and then watched in disappointment over the years as it became institutionalized and started taking itself way too $eriou$ly.
This latest misstep isn't terribly $urpri$ing, and they surely won't be the last arts organization to make a tone deaf decision related to "AI" non$en$e.
