If formulaic slide decks weren't bad enough, we're going to get ones specifically designed to be formulaic.

Eh whatever as long as the bot respects minimum font size.

Ah, yes, the $1,000,000 AI slide deck.

NOW WITH MORE BANALITY.

xt00•7mo ago
Makes sense — the people getting the presentation will just use AI to summarize it :)
fshafique•7mo ago
Does somebody have a breakdown of an analyst's tasks and the percentage of time or money spent on each? Was it 50% data gathering, analysis, and projections, and 50% on making PowerPoints?

And anyone seen a McKinsey slide? How information dense are these things?

darth_avocado•7mo ago
At the end of the day, it’s just made up nonsense that costs millions of dollars. I’d rather have ChatGPT make it up than fresh out of college “Senior Consultant”.
NoPicklez•7mo ago
The truth is that basically all consultancies including most office jobs will be using AI to help make powerpoints, proposals and reports.

No different to anyone else using it help them code, write their own articles, emails, proposals, business cases etc

How this is made specific to McKinsey is beyond me, given that Microsoft has CoPilot built into its office suite everything should be doing this already.

satisfice•7mo ago
I wonder what business these big consultants are really in. I can’t believe anyone takes them seriously. So what is it? Money laundering? Kickbacks? Maybe they are a massive excuse manufacturing and blame displacement engine?

Now they use AI to produce even sloppier slop than the slop they slopped non-stop in elder days. The bullshit industry is really getting efficient.

southernplaces7•7mo ago
>Maybe they are a massive excuse manufacturing and blame displacement engine

I think you nailed it with those last ones. It has become legally entrenched in many industries to cautiously do all things with triple-armoured managerial ass covering firmly in place. This is seen as necessary for offsetting both legal and financial blame from a possible multi-pronged combo attack by shareholders, executives, media and regulators.

McKinsey and its ilk offer the armouring and blame deflection in one, for a fee or two.

huksley•7mo ago
Tangentially, is there a tool to automatically generate or change Google Slides? I think Google AI still can't do it.

We recommend that all carbon-based employees be terminated.

With varying levels of extreme prejudice.
