this is what I've observed as well, it's supposedly impressive and packed with "information" and .. stuff but it's just kind of noise to me

it's fatiguing to read that stuff as well

Yeah, I have told people that I’m fully capable of typing things into ChatGPT or Claude myself. What I need from people are their own warty ideas. Sometimes real ideas are blurry or incomplete. Or have open questions. Making your own presentation can be a personal exercise in clarifying your thoughts. And sometimes the fact that ideas are half-baked or tricky is exactly why you’re having the meeting in the first place…

I guess if you’re in an environment where the emphasis is put on busy-work and formalities, then you’re going to get this sort of shit. Deeper organizational problem at that point, though…

I used AI to make a presentation that animated around (html). It had the look of the storyboard and the postcards had tweakable controls on them for the data I wanted to show. It was pretty slick, something that would take me forever (and I'd never get the time approval to do).

same here. our org just hired a new guy and he just did his first presentation, blatantly AI-generated. he said everything that had to be said on the first slid, then wasted 20 minutes going in circles.

llm writing style sounds so wrong once you say it out loud.
