@Viss This is true for *any* communication. Why should anyone expend effort reading something someone else can't be bothered to write?
@deftpunk so many places are using llms for support now. its gross

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 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?

@Viss Spicier hot take: Cons are not that meaningful anyway. Better to just go have a whiskey and a deep conversation with someone about other things anyway.

@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 it could be a fun party game to make people present slop generated presentations that someone else created, though

@Viss On the other hand, one of my team members is a big Nano Banana user. We both spent about an hour trying to get it to fix an image for a presentation we were making.
We got the image from a partner and it was the wrong style. An hour for one image! We lost count of the prompts. Couldn’t make it work, so I just used some basic Powerpoint art to fix it. Took less than 5 min. -

Took less than 5 min.@doctorlaura this is exactly what i mean. if anything, these llms are just a really really expensive way to talk out a thing youre working through and you end up solving the problem yourself. i've done similar with networking configs and some code stuff. little to none of the image generators output is "good". its only 'good' if youre actually looking for high-confidence word salad

@Viss I recently attended a talk given by a person whose slides were chalk-a-block with abstract Midjounrney slop images and not one but two different "Who I Am Not" slides at the front.
I thought "No, that's too broad. Maybe just tell us who you are."

@Viss I don't think this has anything to do with AI. Nobody really I cares how the presentation was created if the content is good and if the presence of a human presenter actually enhance it. AI is a tool, using it have nothing to do with the respect one may have or not have for his/her audience. AI doesn't make a bad presentation good or a good one bad.
There's more worthy battles to be had regarding AI. -
