AI slide builders keep overriding negative prompts: Gamma users hit hardcoded layout walls
waterySoup2344 · reddit · 2026-11-02
A Reddit user details a shared pain point in AI presentation tools like Gamma and Plus AI: outline generation works fine, but when editing individual slides, the internal design engine overrides the LLM's instructions — e.g. a request to keep a text bullet list still gets split into a 4-tile image grid because the built-in UI component library prefers visual cards.
The poster suspects the layout engine is too hardcoded, asks whether specific prompting techniques can give real UI control, and requests alternative deck-making tools.
