    spicy opinion:

    one of the most disrspectful things you can do as a presenter, to your audience, is stand up in front of them and do a talk with a 100% ai generated slide deck.

    you couldnt even take the time to build your own deck out, and we're supposed to take you seriously? you didnt care enough to build your own deck, so why should the audience give a shit about it?

    its just a sociopathic/narcisistic play to get on stage and be in the spotlight for a moment. and its super obvious.

    boo.

        @Viss Corollary - the same thing holds true for presentations that only contain vague images.

        @nerdpr0f i quit going to bsides sf because:
        - one of the talks was a lady from microsoft who basically didnt have a topic, she rambled about animals, then threw chocolates into the audience to try to get the audience to ask questions
        - my talk wasnt selected
        - to sit in a talk thats 100% bullshit after my talk wasnt selected is a slap in the face
        - the cfp committee just brings their friends in
        - this is bullshit
        - punch out, never return

            Early in the flood, i was asked to give a presentation on AI at an all-hands. So i put 9 or 10 slides together, all AI generated, chosen to demonstrate the nightmare of this unfolding timeline. I presented it straight, addressing each horror with corporate flavored enthusiasm for the brave new world.

            I never had an audience so engaged. Rapturous looks on faces. Several came up after to say it was the best presentation they had seen. I wanted to cry. Complete miss.

                    @Viss I’ve had this at work. . . Just ask a question about the content and you get nothing back other than a panicked look followed by a totally bollocks response, because they have no idea what is behind the slideware bullshit they generated. It’s a form of modern entertainment for those of us that still have a brain and some professional integrity.

                      @Viss This is true for *any* communication. Why should anyone expend effort reading something someone else can't be bothered to write?

                          @Viss Well i do that a Lot for my Podcast Talks. But i have a tech faul Podcast, so my process ist doing my slides and then let Powerpoint decide how tge Design should be, as a additional fail. But yeah for serious Talks that is a No Go.

                            @OchmennoPodcast the argument quickly becomes:

                            if you didnt care to make your own slides, why should the audience care to look at them?

                                    @krypt3ia entirely fair - most of the business that comes to phobos though comes from "someone saw me on youtube", so i've sorta leaned into that

                                          @Viss @krypt3ia I paid for the patreon releases, so I get them ad-free.
