A human might have taste, but AI certainly doesn't.

It has average taste based on the code it was trained on. For example, every time I attempted to polish the UX it wanted to add a toast system, I abhor toasts as a UX pattern. But it also provided elegant backend designs I hadn't even considered.

    Agreed. Just that I view "average taste" as no taste at best.

I’d say AI has better taste than an average human but definitely not the taste you would see in competent people around you.

    This is wrong by definition because AI outputs the average of its training data.
