This interview with David Lee, the CCO of Squarespace, poses an interesting question: Will AI make human creativity a luxury?
Creativity is not just about technical skill or craft; it’s about identifying what resonates with people and captures the human experience. That is, taste.
In today’s world, where AI is increasingly capable of creating art, music, and literature, taste matters more than ever. I agree with David here—taste is the currency of this inevitable future, which perhaps is already here.
Good taste helps creatives produce resonate work that reflects personal style and originality. It involves a level of vulnerability, exposure to diverse influences, trusting instincts, and knowing when to follow or diverge from trends.
Collaborative environments, like the WordPress community, play a big role in developing taste. They offer opportunities to learn from others’ perspectives, broadening creative horizons.
“This nuanced understanding of taste defines the future of creativity.”

When these environments are open and inclusive, creatives can be more vulnerable and take greater risks to develop taste. Being different is encouraged, allowing you to embrace your style and commit to your own uniqueness.
As AI-generated content becomes more common everyday, the ability to curate taste will set creatives apart.
I’d go as far as to say that this nuanced understanding of taste defines the future of creativity, ensuring human artistry among these brilliant new AI tools.
