@cwebber Well said. Taste is not one single platonic ideal - it can't afford to be that. It has to step away from averages and be a thin, human-directed path of exploration. We don't consider it a healthy culture when we've "solved" taste and have a unified, stagnant concept of what's good and bad. A healthy art culture is a diverse and clashing and mixing ecosystem of strong opinions and insightful questions and curiosity.
A machine of everything-averaging is a tool that can only tear down those ecosystems, purpose-built for paving paradise.
