mogging claude with impeccable rizz: why *you* matter in the workflow
this post is not for advanced users of ICM.
attached is a webm of how i feel every time I add something to one of my taste files.
the goal of this post is to make you feel this same, special feeling.
---
in 5 years everybody will be good with ai
so being "good with ai" is not gonna separate you from the pack anymore, my sweet prince
everybody and they momma will be able to make "the thing""
landing pages
logos
sales emails
cute lil apps
so in a world where everyone can generate "the thing""
the separator becomes taste - or rizz as we like to call it.
because making the thing and making the thing beautiful are not the same
this is how we define rizz now
i'm not telling you to flirt with the model or prompt in a sultry tone (although i've been running some tests and this might work)
i'm talking about mogging claude into understanding your tastes
you need lil bro to pipe down when YOU know best and he's just along for the ride
but that requires defining when you know best
can you get lil fella to understand your judgment?
your standards?
your eye for what makes the thing go BOOM and BANG and not _BROTHER EUUUGHHGHGHGHGHG_
this is rizz in ai.
everyone and they momma know the devilish details of layer 1:
can it make the thing?
sick. we're all at least here. hi fambly.
but layer 2 is the game we're really playing with ICM:
is the thing goin' BOOM and BANG or are you still going "BROTHER EUUGHGHGHGHGH"
ai is an AMPLIFIER.
if your judgment is mid, claude is just pushing mids faster.
if your taste is undefined, kimi is helping you ship slop at scale
but if your judgment is sharp - lil fella helps you make more without lowering that bar.
It AMPLIFIES your judgment.
either jake or boris or some legend summed it up perfectly talking about web design.
if everyone can make a website with ai, designers don't go _poof_ because your cousin got sick at telling claude to make a website (your cousin is still sick tho for selling us weed in 7th grade)
but REAL web designers become terrifying.
because our favorite cousin is iterating by saying
"make it more modern"
"it could pop a little harder"
"i dont like the colors"
but they're relying on the agent to fix it with their taste.
and if everyone is doing this, then that becomes generic.
But designers see:
"the spacing is too tight, adjust it to..."
"the hero has no heirarchy"
"the CTA is fighting with the headline"
and after seeing these misses a couple times they see the pattern -
and they can write this down in a document.
maybe it's literally design-taste.md
and now using the same models, they get drastically different results.
This is the dividing line.
AI making the thing is not a W.
AI making the thing _you see in your head_ is what makes it worth a damn.
and before this post gets blackpilled i'm not saying beginners are cooked
actually the opposite (especially if you're here)
I'm saying dont stop at "omg it made the thing"
that part is getting commoditized
start asking
what feels generic?
what feels off?
what would a pro notice immediately?
what would i cut?
what needs more restraint?
then tell it to ur favorite lil terminal temp
and once the same corrections keep repeating, bottle 'em up
(remember my post on slash commands? connect the dots twin)
this is where your taste file comes in
have 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 for however you decide to breakdown the parameters you're tuning
look how jake likes to divide them in the writing-room
voice.md, style-guide, audience, constraints
whatever you want to call it, the important thing is that your judgement is written down so the agent stops defaulting back to mids every new session
because soon everyone will have claude
but not everybody is gonna know how to absolutely mog him
THAT is impeccable rizz
taste
judgement
standards
constraints
knowing when the output is clean between fancy slop
claude can cook
but you have the taste to know if it's good or not
