jxnlco · x · 2026-07-05
In a lengthy thread, entrepreneur Jason Liu (@jxnlco) pointed out that as AI enables more people to create content, "taste"—the aesthetic judgment to anticipate what others will like—is becoming the scarcest differentiator. He emphasized that cultivating taste requires deep engagement and perception rather than mere content consumption, just as a chef must actually eat at other restaurants instead of just reading the menu. This perspective offers profound insights into human unique value in the AI era.
