TasteLabs founder: AI floods the world with slop, so raise everyone's creative floor
korymath · x · 2026-09-30
In a Business Insider interview, TasteLabs' Thais Branco argues that "taste" is a skill — the ability to choose what feels right when there's no single right answer, earned through years of pattern recognition and point of view. As AI lets anyone create, the world is flooding with slop, but simply allowing it isn't the answer either. Her thesis: help raise both the floor and the ceiling of what everyone can create, which TasteLabs is building toward.
