We sold taste to LLMs


When we build with AI, the code loses its owner. The Taste gets mixed with AI's guesses. Then we ask, was this deliberate, or slop? If we make every decision matter, outsourcing it will become visible. The solution is to make sites under 1kB, because they force tradeoffs. Mechanism is concrete: add X for 10B then Z for 70B or Y for 50B but Z for 10B. The choices are non-obvious and self dependent. AI will drift to the cheapest, but can it rate the best? So even if the site was vibecoded, it gained an owner.
