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.

Makes sense — the people getting the presentation will just use AI to summarize it :)
fshafique•6h 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•5h 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•45m 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.
