Everytime I use an AI agent to create slide deck I can spot the 2 influences it has been trained on: beautiful and well-designed web sites, and the “common practice” of making business presentations: i.e., bad PowerPoint. AI has seen too many poor slide decks…

The result, you can dense “slidocuments”, consulting-type, that are beautifully executed with typical web design artifacts. Especially when you start requesting multiple rounds of content edits, things go off the rails. The PowerPoint influence gets the upper hand.
