Can you encode your personal taste into an AI model?
0:02
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
And this is the question that we've been discussing.
0:03
S… Speaker 1 (1000093692)
Quick recap,
0:04
S… Speaker 1 (1000093692)
in part one,
0:05
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
we saw that every reward function currently compresses all of human judgment into a single
0:09
S… Speaker 1 (1000093692)
number.
0:09
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
And that's why AI output feels slightly generic.
0:12
S… Speaker 1 (1000093692)
In part two,
0:13
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
we focused on the new kinds of reward models like Lore from Meta,
0:16
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
which showed that you can decompose personal taste into eight shared dimensions.
0:20
S… Speaker 1 (1000093692)
Now,
0:20
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
Lore solves what you prefer.
0:23
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
and tapo solves how it looks but neither solves why let's use music as
0:27
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
a lens here but this applies to any creative domain design writing fashion etc
0:31
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
taste has four dimensions current reward models and knowledge graphs capture
0:35
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
two of them dimension one is acoustic features which are the formal properties of the content
0:39
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
itself in music that's tempo timber energy standard reward models
0:43
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
currently are capturing this it's baked into the embeddings dimension two exposure
0:48
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
pathways which means that how the content has reached you friend sending you a song caddy
0:52
S… Speaker 1 (1000093692)
social
0:52
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
trust if you grew up with a particular song in your region it carries cultural inheritance
0:56
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
these are different pathways with different weights a process called collaborative filtering
1:00
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
which is like users you like also like this approach partially captures this spotify
1:04
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
uses it but it flattens the pathway into a single signal
1:08
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
Now let's talk about dimension 3,
1:09
S… Speaker 1 (1000093692)
which is Social Positioning.
1:10
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
This is Pierre Bourdieu's concept of Habitus from 1980s,
1:14
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
where he says that taste isn't just preference,
1:16
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
it's an identity signal.
1:17
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
It's cultural capital.
1:18
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
Liking obscure artists,
1:20
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
signal one kind of identity.
1:21
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
And no reward model captures this.
1:23
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
None of them have a representation for social signaling.
1:26
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
Dimension 4,
1:27
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
Temporal Context.
1:28
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
For example, why does this genre resonate at this moment?
1:31
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
The folk resurgence isn't because folk objectively sounds better in 2026.
1:35
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
It's actually because of the AI music background.
1:37
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
That's a cultural moment,
1:39
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
a temporal edge that didn't exist in 2023 and might not exist in 2028.
1:43
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
No reward model has a representation for time -dependent cultural context.
1:47
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
Current recommendation system treats preference as static.
1:50
S… Speaker 3 (1000093692)
It's not.
1:50
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
Current models capture acoustic features and exposure pathways.
1:54
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
It completely misses social positioning and temporal context and that's half the picture.
1:58
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
in a system that can capture all four dimensions a taste isn't a property of the user and
2:02
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
it's not a property of the song it's the pattern of connection across all four layers
2:06
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
for example two users might listen to the same folk artist same music but user a listens
2:11
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
to it because it signals authenticity in their community that's social positioning plus temporal
2:15
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
context user b listens to it because they grew up with it that's exposure pathway only
2:19
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
no cultural movement involved same behavior completely different taste a system
2:23
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
that maps all four dimensions can tell them apart but a flat preference data
2:27
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
can never hulu is a company that's been building for over a decade and they have what they call
2:31
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
cultural ai and they have something called a taste api but here's the thing they're
2:36
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
all solving different slices independently i think nobody has connected the three layers into one
2:40
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
stack integration can become a new product a taste api that doesn't just know your preferences
2:44
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
it knows why you have them the interesting thing is that the research is published the individual components
2:48
S… Speaker 2 (1000093692)
are proven whoever integrates them might end up building the infrastructure for computational taste

The transcript discusses the limitations of current AI models in capturing personal taste, which is decomposed into four dimensions: acoustic features, exposure pathways, social positioning, and temporal context. Current models focus on acoustic features and exposure pathways, missing social positioning and temporal context. A system that can capture all four dimensions can differentiate between tastes based on the pattern of connection across these layers.
