Contemporary AI discourse often focuses on 'sanctuary strategies' — defensive attempts to identify uniquely human capabilities — positioning humans and AI as competitors for finite cognitive territory. This essay reframes human-AI relationships as embedded within complex cognitive ecologies where meaning emerges through interaction, and introduces 'taste' as a framework for cultivating contextual judgement: sophisticated discernment about when, how, and why to engage AI in service of meaningful purposes. Unlike technical literacy, taste development involves iterative experimentation and reflection, preserving human agency over value determination. By shifting from 'What can humans do that AI cannot?' to 'How might AI help us do more of what we value?', the essay builds a case for abundance-oriented human-AI partnership.
