“The loudest voices preaching about taste and AI are often the ones who never demonstrated taste before AI.”

Yes, and if even these people can tell that AI generated stuff is godawful and tasteless, that tells you everything you need to know about AI.

AI stuff is tasteless in a different sense: It's like food that has no flavor. It "lacks salt" in some non-literal sense.

And I think that is not all that surprising, because much of what it was trained on was corporate-speak, which has the same problem.

OTOH I read the success rate is only 50-50 at detecting it. AI text does leave some clues, like those infamous em dashes, but those can be patched with some simple edits. AI images are more obvious because many are intentionally overwrought.

I would argue the opposite, most of the AI slop I see is gaudy and overwrought, the result of too much flavour carelessly applied.

Does it include the author of the blog post? Also your comment is also doing it...

Or is it only bad when "AI people" do it?

'detect AI' is such a stupid goalpost given the different caliber of output one individual may have from another when coding with an LLM.

do these people detect all AI? Of course not, they detect crap.

The quoted part is really amazing. The author of the article just makes claims and clearly hasn't been exposed to any real art or music education. I suppose to some extent he means taste in programming, but anyone who is writing such an article does not have that either.

We can also talk about taste in articles, which seems to have degenerated to "any pro-AI article will be voted up and defended".

I'm not sure if this counts as a pro-AI article, but I agree. It's void of substance.

The most ironic part:

> When someone preaches about AI taste, ask them to show you their work from before AI. If they can’t demonstrate taste in their pre-AI work, they’re not qualified to lecture you about it now.

Talking about the lack of self-awareness...
