Designer Simon discusses how to cultivate taste by immersing oneself in a large volume of reference imagery. He notes that while technologies like Pinterest or Instagram can help, they also risk trapping users in repetitive feedback loops.
He emphasizes the need to use such technology carefully to maintain genuine exploration without being shaped or steered by algorithms. He extends this concern to LLMs, worrying that people might similarly lose their independent thinking and exploration skills.
