Not only is this argument completely stupid and anti-art, it poisons the well of discussion about disability rights and just gives more fuel to people who don't take actual ableism seriously.
Using genAI to generate the bulk of a piece of writing - even if you that person rewrites it in their own words - is just using it as a ghost-writer. A bad ghost-writer. That can't handle context well over ~5k words. And without even paying an actual human ghost-writer. If people can't understand why that's very weird for a "personal writing challenge" like NaNoWriMo, I'm not sure how it can be explained in a way they would accept. At best, it's reducing a "personal challenge" to a corporate productivity exercise.
A ghost writer would also presumably be aware that their words were being passed off as someone else's and would get paid (which the people whose writing is being ripped off by LLMs are not)

Not at all ableist. At this point I feel like everyone is able to criticize AI :)
