I love the probabilistic nature of this. Presentations could be anywhere from extremely impressive to hilariously embarrassing.

It would be so cool if it generated live in the presentation and adjusted live as you spoke, so you’d have to react to whatever popped on screen!

Some consulting firms do this, one guy is giving the presentation live while others are in the next meeting room still banging out the slides.

Every presentation becomes improv

Isn't that such a great outcome. No more robotic presentations. The best part is that you can now practice Improv at the comfort of your home.

Caro’s first LBJ biography tells of how the future president became a congressman in Texas in his 20s, by carting around a “claque” of his friends to various stump speeches and having them ask him softball questions and applauding loudly after

Well, hey, who needs friends?

There was a pre-LLM version of this called "battledecks" or "PowerPoint Karaoke"[0] where a presenter is given a deck of slides they've never seen and have to present on it. With a group of good public speakers it can be loads of fun (and really impressive the degree that some people can pull it off!)

There is a Jackbox game called "Talking Points" that's like this: the players come up with random ideas for presentations, your "assistant" (one of the other players) picks what's on each slide while you present: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKnprQpQONw

I guess you could have two people per presentation, one person who confirms whether to slide in the generated slide or maybe regenerate. And then of course, eventually that's just an agent
