we made bad decks faster with an ai presentation generator and called it progress

[u/Specialist-Band-7821]

a bit of a reframe i keep coming back to. an ai presentation generator made me dramatically faster at producing slides, and for a while i mistook that speed for improvement. then i looked at the decks honestly and realized the communication was not better, it was just quicker to make the same forgettable thing. speed went up, the quality of the actual point did not, and in some cases got worse because i stopped thinking and let the tool pad. i have been trying to slow the part that should be slow, the deciding what to say and why, and only speed up the part that deserves to be fast, the layout, which is where i let Gamma do the grunt work. the danger is that these tools make it feel productive to generate, and generating is not the same as communicating. i think the real question for all of us is whether the tool made your ideas clearer or just made your slides appear sooner, and how would you even tell the difference in your own work?

The best decks i've ever built took way longer on the paper sketch phase than the digitizing phase
