The Internet Is Running Out of Human Taste
AI can make almost anything now. That is exactly why knowing what is good matters more.
The internet has never had a shortage of content. Now it is developing a shortage of something else: taste.
AI can write the article, design the logo, build the landing page, edit the video, generate the ad, and suggest the next 50 ideas. What once required a team can now be produced before lunch.
The obvious conclusion is that everyone becomes more creative.
The more interesting possibility is the opposite.
When everyone uses similar tools, follows similar prompts, and optimizes for similar platforms, the internet begins to look strangely familiar.
The advantage is no longer simply being able to create.
It is knowing what deserves to exist.
Production is no longer the flex
For years, execution separated professionals from everyone else.
Having an idea was easy. Turning it into something polished was hard.
That gap is collapsing.
A founder with no design team can create a credible brand. A writer can produce ten drafts in an hour. A small company can publish like a media operation.
This is extraordinary.
It is also creating an ocean of things that are technically fine and completely forgettable.
THE NEW PROBLEM
We solved the shortage of production. Now we have a surplus of average.
More output does not automatically create more value. Often, it creates more noise.
How AI-Era Pricing Is Reshaping Finance Operations
Usage-based and hybrid pricing models are changing how B2B companies generate revenue — and creating new headaches for the finance teams behind them.
Tabs co-founder Rebecca Schwartz and PwC Partner Amit Dhir sat down to unpack exactly what that means in practice: how pricing model decisions ripple into revenue recognition, forecasting, and financial ops — and what it takes to scale without piling on manual work.
Watch the on-demand recording to get practical frameworks, real-world examples, and a clear path to operationalizing usage-based revenue — including a forward-looking take on how AI will reshape financial workflows. If your team is navigating pricing complexity heading into the back half of the year, this is worth an hour.
Taste is knowing what to reject
People often think taste means choosing good fonts, beautiful colors, or expensive furniture.
That is only the surface.
In business, taste is judgment.
It is knowing which feature should never be built. Which sentence should be deleted. Which trend should be ignored. Which idea needs another month. Which idea should be killed today.
AI is very good at giving you more options.
Taste is what stops you from using all of them.
The best creators and founders are often defined less by what they produce than by what they refuse to publish.
THE NEW CREATIVE STACK
AI generates possibilities.

Experience provides context.

Taste makes the final decision.
The sameness problem
You can already see it everywhere.
The same startup websites. The same social posts. The same illustrations. The same “10 lessons I learned” threads. The same polished but empty language.
None of it is necessarily bad.
That is the problem.
It is good enough to exist, but not distinct enough to remember.
As tools become more powerful, technical quality becomes easier to copy. Personality, judgment, and perspective do not.
Anyone can ask a model for 100 content ideas.
Far fewer people can recognize the one worth pursuing.
The winners will become editors
The future may belong less to people who can produce the most and more to people who can choose the best.
Founders become editors of products.
Creators become editors of ideas.
Managers become editors of decisions.
AI can create the first draft, the tenth option, and the hundredth variation. The human role moves higher up the chain.
Is this useful? Is this interesting? Does this feel like us? Should this exist at all?
Those questions become more valuable when making things becomes nearly effortless.
When creation is unlimited, selection becomes the skill.
The companies with taste will feel different
The strongest brands rarely win because they do everything.
They win because they make a small number of decisions with unusual consistency.
They know what they are.
They know what they are not.
That creates a feeling customers can recognize, even when they cannot explain it.
AI can help a company move faster. But if nobody is making strong decisions about what enters the world, faster simply means producing more forgettable things.
The future will not have a shortage of content, software, or ideas.
It will have a shortage of people willing to say:
No. Not this one. We can do better.
ONE THING TO WATCH
The rise of the human editor.
Not necessarily someone with “editor” in their job title.
Watch the founders, creators, and teams who use AI heavily but publish selectively. They will look slower than the content machines.
They may also be the only ones people remember.
