The Irony of AI Taste Preachers: Those Who Never Demonstrated Taste Before

Summary

The article critiques the hypocrisy of designers, marketers, and developers who are suddenly preaching about the importance of 'taste' when using AI tools, despite never demonstrating taste or critical thinking in their own work before AI became mainstream. It argues that these individuals never questioned why their designs looked identical, rarely iterated beyond first drafts, and didn't consider whether their work actually solved problems. The piece suggests that the loudest voices advocating for taste with AI are often those who lacked it previously.
