20:28Now PlayingDo you think you have good taste?
Having a good sense of taste is something like a cultural badge of honor: the result of hard work understanding what you find beautiful and why it moves you. Silicon Valley tech bros are latching onto taste as a new buzzword, and some are even suggesting that their products can give you a fast track to refining your own taste.
Brittany is joined by Kyle Chayka () , staff writer at The New Yorker, and Kate Wagner () , architecture critic at The Nation, to find out whether or not taste can be created from terabytes of AI data. You can read Kyle's piece, titled, 'Why Tech Bros Are Now Obsessed with Taste () ' in The New Yorker.
