replugging my essay, “taste is not scalable” where I had the audacity to quote Kant on taste coz this is getting a bit ridiculous. taste in what? art assets? typography? writing? static design? video editing? cinematography? UI? interaction design? UX? taxonomies? copy? TASTE IN WHAT? WHOSE TASTE? AND THEIR TASTE IN WHAT? AND WHAT WILL THAT BEING FORMULISED DO FOR ANYONE? tech industry didn’t have the vocabulary to discuss human art and creativity so it’s created a new binary definition: taste vs slop. naturally, there were going to be models and companies “solving” for taste. it started with “context”. I don’t mean to diss on this company, I know others too in this space and it’s been the most soulless work to watch which is really something if you’re going to turn “taste” into your category. you know what’s the real slop? these catchphrases and whoever keeps coming up with them. ghibli’s work is BEYOND “tasteful”. AI generated ghiblislop is bottom of the trash pile. go figure. TASTE IS NOT SCALABLE. https://t.co/yMtxWWBGAD

Many will say that people only don’t like this because it’s a physical person acting like a cartoon character, but I do think it runs deeper than all of that. America and really just western audiences as a whole have not been able to climb over the hurdle of cynicism and embrace jovial camp or sincere whimsy. It makes us uncomfortable. The closest we’ve had to this in a rating that isn’t strictly for toddlers and was widely beloved was Superman and Knight of The Seven Kingdoms, and both of those stories were surrounded with cynicism to avoid the sincere optimistic qualities from becoming too overwhelming to audiences- or to resemble our world that is tonally jaded with few good people. Something that’s more palatable to modern viewers. One Piece refuses to exist within those barriers, which to me makes it one of a kind.

Is there any way to block this AI music dogshit from my @SpotifyUK ? I like to listen to Discover Weekly and What's New to find new bands, but it's infested with AI slop now.
