ai can develop taste

if taste is a learned discriminator over aesthetic objects that produce consistent, identifiable preferences, then ai has taste.

more than that, it has a real aesthetic sense.

you see this immediately when you interact with it the way you would a designer. ask it to critique, refine, or generate & it responds with outputs that are tasteful. a lot of ppl just try to assess one shot output but good design needs iteration.. just like anything.

i'm pretty obsessive about design, & ai, particularly claude, can reliably produce work that aligns with what we'd call good taste imho. will it produce slop? absolutely. but humans also produce slop. why do we have a higher bar for ai?
