Taste is the accumulation of hundreds of details designers sweat over: hierarchy, color harmony, typography, spacing, and countless subtle refinements. These details separate good design from great. Today's AI can one shot good designs, but it still misses many of the nuances that experienced designers notice immediately. A big reason is that the AI judges used to evaluate these models don't assess design the way humans do. We at @world_lica partnered with @contralabs_ai to measure that gap and build tools that help AI become better design partners. This is the first in a series of studies aimed at understanding and improving AI design judgment. Check it out below.
We all know AI has a "taste" problem.
We measured it. It’s (somewhat) fixable, but AI judges can't replace human creative judgement.
Introducing Design Crit.

"I'm going to be the hero. You'll all be my sidekicks."
She’s been saying this since the playground.
That same energy is what helped build @andieswim into a brand that's sold over 1 MILLION swimsuits.

I asked Eunice Byun point blank: do you ever feel like you need to loosen the reins and just go all in on ad spend?
She didn't flinch. She said the stickiness of word of mouth (digital or otherwise) just has greater longevity.
That a friend posting about your product is always going to be more powerful than anything Meta Ads could buy.
And that Material's customers aren't impulse buyers anyway. They start with one piece and then they come back for another.
Should brands disclose every time something is AI?
@pritopian doesn’t think you really need to disclose this:
• People don’t care if you used AI to cut a review montage.
• They care if you used AI to fake a review that never happened.
• Why their lifetime warranty isn't about legal fine print… it's about trust
• The moment she realized she'd rather bet on herself than prove herself to people who didn't value her
I’ve been on a lot of calls where someone’s first sentence is, “We don’t want to lose our photographers,” or, “My designers are already tired of AI hype.”
Every single time, we come back to what @pritopian says here:
• People have seen too many “wrappers” spit out slop
