That use case is definitely delegated to LLMs by many people. That said, I don't think it translates into linear productivity gains. Most white collar work isn't so fast-paced that if you save an hour making slides, you're going to reap some big productivity benefit. What are you going to do, make five more decks about the same thing? Respond to every email twice? Or just pat yourself on the back and browse Reddit for a while?
It doesn't help that these LLM-generated slides probably contain inaccuracies or other weirdness that someone else will need to fix down the line, so your gains are another person's loss.
Yeah, but this is self-correcting. Eventually it will get to a point where the data that you use to prompt the LLM will have more signal than the LLM output.
But if you get deep into an enterprise, you'll find there are so many irreducible complexities (as Stephen Wolfram might coin them), that you really need a fully agentically empowered worker — meaning a human — to make progress. AI is not there yet.
