I asked an LLM today to take a word document and a PowerPoint template to “convert” the docx to a ppt. It asked some good questions like “it looks like this template is a title slide and content slide only, would you like all the content on the content slide?”

“Yes” I said, slightly impressed. It then asked me to clarify the subheadings, which were correct.

“Cool, this seems neat” I mused.

It generated the PowerPoint. There was not a single word on it from the docx, the header slide was devoid of words, and the 6 following content sliders were identical, and empty of words.

I suppose it’s cool that it used the correct template.

I did the work manually in 10 minutes after waiting around and responding to an LLM for 15.

What a fucking joke. “AI” is a term that we really need to stop fucking using.
