ThisLiss coined 'tasteslop' — content slopped out with little effort but exhibiting good taste. The example: a spec ad for AmEx where Claude built a mosaic animation engine of 500,000 tiles in pure JavaScript, no video models involved.
teortaxesTex welcomes the trend: measurable effort and skill are being commoditized — tasteful palettes, compositions, animation tricks — leaving taste and stories as the scarce assets.
