> A practical loop for training taste

Taste is cheap. Taste (or a rudimentary version of it at least) is something you start with at the beginning of your career. Taste is the thing that tells you "this is fucking cool", or "I don't know why but this just looks right". LLM's are not going to replicate that because it's not a human and taste isn't something you can make. Now - MAKING something that "looks right" is hard, and because LLM's are churning out the middle - the middle is moving somewhere else. Just like rich people during the summer.

Taste comes from childhood imo. It is not something that magically appears in adulthood.

It was always there, albeit laying dormant until one does something that requires it.

I would... actually maybe agree with this. I'm not certain it can be taught!
