Ending AI Slop — Thais Castello Branco, Taste Labs

תקציר מקורי באנגליתThais Castello Branco's starting point is that AI is still badly behind on the subjective work, the writing and design where quality is real but hard to pin down, and that ending the slop means building data and reinforcement environments for taste. She sorts domains along a spectrum: at one end things that verify and execute cleanly, at the other pure preference with no ground truth, and most valuable work sits in between. The move that makes taste tractable is decomposition, breaking something like a brand or a page into elements that can each be graded against an original rather than judged whole. The deeper problem she names is collapse to the mean. A model optimizing for the most likely output drifts toward the average and quietly kills the creativity that good design depends on, so t
