In a past life I used to design websites for the film industry and remember being at a party in LA full of industry people. I was talking to someone who, mid conversation, just walked away. They had asked what I did and realised I had no power and was therefore of no use to them.

First speakers announced for Orbit (more to come). And you can now request a ticket. Nice.
Ticket requests for Orbit (by Linear) are now open.
Join us in San Francisco on Dec 9 for an exploration of the future of product development: If we can produce more software than ever, what does it take to make it good?

Agree with this. Humans recognise effort, whether that is in learning a craft, the production process, material sourcing. The less human effort, the less perceived value. Hand made became a luxury signifier in the machine age, in part, because mass production became distasteful.
Counter argument: Not only is taste subjective, it's a moving target. As soon as [tasteful thing] becomes easily replicable, it stops being tasteful.
Taste is a status game with a strong defensibility mechanism. That's why the term is so fuzzy and ill-defined. Vagueness is the whole point. It's meant to be hard to copy.
We will (and are already seeing) something similar with AI. Apple ads now come with proof of human labour. Not that AI itself is inherently distasteful, some great work is and has been produced with it. But it’s the human labour we still recognise.
