Taste forms slowly inside a loop that never stops: build, feedback, improve. That is the design idea behind Cursor — help a person get there, rather than only pushing code through as an AI tool. Leave AI alone and it tends to become a machine for AI slop. No distinction, no judgment, no improvement, and so no taste and no judgment.
