you’re perfectly capable of making a deck without ChatGPT wasting water resources to complete it for you
No, that’s taking a leap from what I directly said. I think it’s a fine thing to care about the environment. We count on its existence for our existence.
On the other hand, we are actively destroying it, and there are multiple initiatives and industries where this is the imperative in order to yield something of value. AI compute (energy as a whole), clothing production, food production.
What is embarrassing, and what I only urge others to reconsider, is thinking AI is not massively important to the acceleration and continuance of human life. If you choose to reject it, accept that you will be left behind, and you don’t deserve the benefits of a society that opts-in.
If you think these principles make me sound like a dork, then that’s fine. But if you hold the opposite, I’m glad you’re not in a position to actually affect change, because the world cannot sustain our current way of life. We need acceleration.
No. I use my brain and the brains of my coworkers, which are far more nuanced and creative than a computer that just spits out aggregated slop.
🤣 ok.
I put my deck in ChatGPT, it told me it was biggest it’s ever seen
Did it also say the earth moved?
For what result? To find gaps and considerations in flow, the approach and argument or to support rationale and creative direction?
Also be cautious with clients AI policies. Not sure how they track it but most have distributed clauses and asked agencies to agree.
if you’re using enterprise ChatGPT this is a non-issue
To answer seriously - the key thing for a creative deck to do is to clearly and concisely persuade a client(/CD) to buy a creative idea.
That is something a human needs to do as it’s not all rational and usually very circumstantial.
Subjectivity is so important in these situations and relying on tool that is purely observational will never work.
Having AI analyze it from the POV of the stakeholders is interesting and valuable. Taken with the appropriate grains of HCL of course
The people saying it’s lazy to use ChatGPT are the ones who will get laid off first.
Right? I get it for front of house - the public does not like AI creative or what it represents. But for back of house things like decks, the reactions here are absurdly alarmist.
No
I use it to sharpen my writing skills. English isn’t my first language.
This! And it also makes mistakes
I use it for story telling/narrative flow and to give me constructive criticism on how compelling/convincing it is. It’s very good at that
I’ve used it to help me organize slides and tighten up a narrative. Drop a PDF of it and get a second opinion on duplicate slides or moving sections around or some high level talking points in a pinch. Not all feedback is great but when I get too in the weeds it can be helpful.
That AI is not nearly as capable as everybody wants us to believe it is
Yes but mostly for strategy or operations, never for creative. For example it’s great for getting competitive decks over the line. We’ve gotten extensive direction on what our client wants to see out of ours so I’ll pop in the deck and the client’s feedback and ask to identify gaps or give me actionable changes to make. I don’t think I would trust it for creative.
I use it to help rewrite slide headlines in pithier ways. Generally upload decks for the purpose of prompting it to search for the info I need buried across hundreds of slides from things like strategy decks and dense reports. Or, for finding themes across a ton of research that human bias might miss.

Guys gotta be careful where they're sticking their decks these days...
Seems dangerous to me since decks often have proprietary information about clients or agencies, and using ChatGPT opens up the risk of the model ingesting that information, opening you to potential public exposure of private information.
