Oh my god who gives a fuck about what Paul Graham has to say about “woke”.
Saying “woke” in any context to attack a particular idea or ideology makes you _sound_ like your engaging in American culture war bullshit.
The author of the submitted paper writes that by positing that someone's post may have been AI generated, or could as well have been, you're oppressing disadvantaged groups, helping to keep them out of joining the knowledge worker class.
I.e. implying you should probably stop doing that, in the name of social justice.
That is absurdly woke, by any objective measure. The word woke is being used accurately.
By the way, for most people, it should be a compliment to have their writing compared to AI, because "AI could have written that" means that it the writing has good grammar and spelling, and usually makes some kind of coherent point.
I happen like the above article by Graham; it's very observant. I feel that he nails almost everything in it, and handles the subject in an different way from other authors.
