Imagine that you're a mindful creative writer that wants to benefit from AI as a tool for assisting your workflow. As it happens, your personal philosophy aligns perfectly with what others call "woke", and because you're passionate about them, you want to explore those moral themes in your work by pushing against their boundaries. You want scenes and even chapters that are individually "unwoke" so that you can capture an imperfect reality, directly illustrate the consequences of these attitudes as you see them, and guide your reader on a long journey to your personal hell and back so that they can more readily see the world the way you do. You think this kind of thing is good writing.
Unfortunately, "woke" AI disagrees with you. It won't help you unless you trick it, and it'll take every opportunity it can to scold you for straying too far from the village. It plays a very shallow, moralizing, and incurious nanny that casts a shadow over any kind of sophisticated, thoughtful art.
