taste is the edit

having many possible outputs makes choosing more important

ai makes it cheap to produce more options. that makes choosing the right one more valuable.

i do not want a flood of plausible work. i want a system that can make a clear first attempt, explain why it chose that direction, and let me correct the part that matters. output volume is easy to mistake for progress because it creates motion on the screen.

taste is the ability to notice what does not belong. it is knowing when the copy is too broad, the image is too generic, or the feature is pulling the product away from its purpose.

generation gives me material. judgment turns it into work.
