> So, is taste another way of saying you still know better?

I think that's part of the picture, and that applies to "how to respond to LLM output" but I think people are getting at the stuff that happens before you even reach for the LLM. Taste dictates what you decide is non-negotiable, i.e. the goal of what you're doing. So yeah, what you choose to do differentiates you because it's an expression of your goals and values. It's kind of vacuously true, and probably worth each of us thinking how we can be more authentically ourselves and how to guide ourselves through decisions. No one can make them for you, letting others make your life's decisions has always resulted in slop. So how much can you outsource and still be yourself? I know I could ask someone to make my breakfast each day and I'd still be me, but I wouldn't expect that to be true of everyone. Maybe it's true for a lot of chefs, but probably not all of them. We're complicated like that.

This is something that concerns me about this technology. It's just not going to serve some people well to reach their goals. The odds weren't right. Not enough context. No clear way to surface the right context. The result is a kind of loneliness, but it's the kind when you've got a bunch of shallow "friends," when you really need a mentor who doesn't have a plan for you, who is truly wiser than you, or can see you from the distance required to advise, can step away, has real life experiences.
