Good Taste

embedding-shapes writes about how having good taste is the human differentiator:

I get why many of us fear AI and carry this sense of doom with us, but at the same time, as a creative I’m not super worried about it, and not because I think AI cannot generate things, or even generate good things, because I think it can. But because the hard thing has never been to just produce something. What’s always been hard, is producing something good, something made by someone with Good Taste. A real human being that stand in front of hundreds of choices and knows (or feels) what gets to stay, what gets cut, what to push and what should be refused, and finally sharing the choices they made with you, through the medium.

They’re right about this, but I have to wonder if enough employers care about good taste.
