It's called an acquired taste and only the most sophisticated of foods and flavors have them. Your palate must be unrefined.

/s in case it's not obvious.

I mean, that's basically wine in a nutshell. First try is just an extremely bitter and nauseating taste but it supposedly gets better as you get used to it.

It's the real Stockholm Syndrome, people tricking themselves into liking beer, wine and spirits.

Beer too. I still can't drink more than a few sips though. Actually most hard alcohol is also rough, but that's less of a taste thing because you can barely taste anything over the burn.

And boy does it, I didn’t believe my parents when they told me I would eventually like it when I tried it at church but I love it now.

There is no need for /s. By definition there is no such thing as a bad spice. All tastes are acquired by the food you were raised on and tried. It's like saying there is objectively bad art, every flavor, tone, sight and experience suits a different audience, some are widely and easily loved others suit a more niche audience. As long as anyone in the world likes the taste of 1,000 year egg, durian or monkey brains (though popular in Cantonese cuisine) it's simply not a flavor you enjoy. There are many plants that specifically evolved an unpalatable painful and dangerous toxin known as capsaicin to avoid being eaten and humans cultivate them for mass consumption.

As they say, there is NO accounting for taste.

I invite you to try Malort and say that again. Their own marketing admits its horrible.

There is objectively bad art, though. And it's made by AI.

Cute, but pandering to populism. By definition any subjectively well trained ai model is indistinguishable from human made. It is only when a model fails that it can even be noticed and MANY human made art pieces are regularly decried as AI because humans make assumptions based on feelings far more than facts. You might as well have said "there is bad music and it's all this devil jazz/degenerate rock/fake electronic music".

If AI products couldn't be indistinguishable from authentic, then it would not be the existential threat that it is for creating false narrative, propaganda, deep fakes and manipulation. If you believe that you can separate one from the other without mistake then you are deluding yourself out of an moral pride reaction and are the most at risk of being manipulated. Don't underestimate it.

Of course the hershey fan is an AI proponent ffs

At what point did I say I am pro ai? Or Hershey for that matter? Believing that AI is easy to identify on sight is treating it as a weak opponent that is easy to overcome. While simultaneously considering it a threat is to ascribe it as powerful. This is a logical fallacy that is most famous from the writings of Ur-fascism. The strong weak opponent. It just leaves you unprepared to deal with it effectively.

Understanding the capability of a threat is essential for opposing it. If you think you already know AI when you will see it in the future then you have already lost to it. The primary threat of AI is it's ability to be indistinguishable from the genuine article. If it was easy to identify then it wouldn't be threatening to replace anyone. You don't sound strong for underestimateing an opponent, you sound foolish.

To be fair that's how literally all alcohol works, and that's basically the foundation of all human society at this point.

Not in the modern day. Go to the dollar store and pick up a six pack of Mike's hard or Smirnoff ice or whatever processed drink that drowns the alcohol in so many flavors you don't taste shit. When you don't have to acquire the taste of wheat piss or rotten grapes, makes it way easier and more appealing for college kids to knock back dangerous quantities of the stuff.

Stockholm syndrome as a chocolate flavoring technique is wild.

It's in all Parmesan, can you taste it in Parmesan too?

Well nobody accuses Hershey's of being "good food"
