Why AI-generated technical slides are awful — write the script first, then prompt
tallinzen · x · 2026-10-29
The author argues AI-generated conference slides are bad because inexperienced presenters think a talk means putting everything on slides and reading it out. Real preparation is the reverse: write a rough script of what you'll say, keep only 3% of the text on slides, and add visual aids with data you plan to discuss. AI decks follow the former approach — packed with unspoken content, sized for a talk 10x longer. Practical fix: write a script that fits your time slot, then prompt the model to build minimalist, text-light slides from that script.
