AlchainHust · x · 2026-10-15
Responding to the ongoing AI discourse about "taste," the author argues that in the AI era, one's aesthetic sensibility isn't a single skill but the aggregate of all lived experience — books read, places traveled, movies watched, people met, coffee drunk, loves had, sea breezes and mountains. The implication: models can mimic style, but your unique accumulation of experiences is what differentiates you.
