Good Taste Can't Be Taught, Bought or Learned, Sorry AI

> AI will never understand why you can’t wear Nike socks with adidas shoes.

This sounds like something I will never understand either.

Sometimes I wonder if good taste is actually a real thing, or is instead a manufactured perception created by marketing teams...

jmathai•22m ago
A lot more people have taste than have previously been able to materialize it.

With AI, I created printable artifacts for a booth of a nonprofit I advise. We don't have a "creative" on the team but I'm fluent with all of Claude's tools and I feel I have good taste. I am not what you'd typically call a "creative" though - because I lacked certain skills that are less important now.

In about 30 minutes, I had a PDF I could upload to FedEx Kinkos to print. It looked very professional. Partly because it was based off the website that Claude also helped me design.

In the same way that AI enables me to bypass creatives, it lets creatives by bypass someone like me.
