THE IMPORTANCE OF TASTE, AND OTHER LIES WE TELL OURSELVES

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

“Taste” is the wrong word to describe what truly separates human creativity from AI. Instead, what matters is judgment—a skill developed through time, experience, and critique. Drawing from art school lessons and years in design quality comes from effort and reflection, not instant output or surface-level style. AI can assist like a tool, but only human judgment—shaped by hours of practice—defines what “good” looks like.
