This seems like a great way to make a boring, unfocused presentation. Not bad for generating filler, or a presentation that could be done poorly by a college freshman without any speaking experience. The slide comments are more opinionated, and better but the slides themselves are bland.

For example, I generated one for "Why use Hacker News": https://slidesgpt.com/l/X3sU

I can agree with the filler at least in part. My result was actually much better for theorizing alone by myself wrt the specific area of my own professional expertise, than it was as a presentation.

It presented a basic--but different--model than I was thinking of (and was _probably_ freshman-passing as you said) but it did highlight some advantages of an underused model in the topic, as compared to my preferred ways of modeling in the topic.
