It is easy to defer to the "taste" of the mathematically mixed up assessment of "all internet-recorded human taste" if you prefer. And many will choose that. But many others will choose to remain in charge of their own taste, as best they can, and request that the machines still produce output per their bidding.

    Well no, you just need to tune the taste of the model to produce things that humans find appealing. This has already happened with the image generation models. I don’t see any reason it can’t happen with these code generation models too.

    The whole thing feels a bit like god-of-the-gaps situation, where we keep trying to squeeze humanity into whatever remaining little gaps the current generation of AI hasn’t mastered yet.

yeah there's nothing special about taste most of the time, very few people even have a decent sense of it anyway

you can tell by how many people earnestly share AI generated images, many are completely tasteless but people don't care

      didn't say that they didn't! but taste isn't really going to stave off AI
