Don’t we hate AI?” Some people certainly do, and many more fear what AI could become , but for now, I’m taking Hamlet’s approach: There is nothing either good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.

The term “woke” was first introduced in the 1940’s to emphasize the importance of being aware of social injustices (Ng, 2021).
