How to build Taste using AI in 2026
@Av1dlivearticlethreadx
TL;DR. AI made "good" the new average—so taste, the ability to eliminate the safe-good 75%, is now the only edge that matters.
Takeaways
- "Execution is commoditized, curation is scarce." AI raised the floor but flattened outputs into statistical taste: purple gradients, bold-claim-plus-three-bullets, corporate-polite copy.
- Taste is distinction under uncertainty—elimination, not addition. Think Rubin and Jobs: the last mover who notices so precisely nothing else needs to be added.
- The new gap is the 25% delta above safe-good. Pre-AI mediocrity meant lack of skill; post-AI mediocrity means the maker stopped early.
