On "How OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra Can Help You Build Presentations"

The real problem with GPT-6 Astra for presentations isn't that it's capable — it's that capability alone doesn't solve the actual bottleneck, which is having a point worth making and an audience that needs to hear it. Most presentation tools, including AI-powered ones, are optimized for speed and polish, not clarity or persuasion, so you end up with slides that look better but say nothing new. The practitioners who'll actually win with this tool aren't the ones treating it as a presentation builder; they're the ones using it to stress-test weak thinking before the deck even starts. If you're not already clear on what you're trying to convince someone of, a faster slide generator just makes you better at being wrong faster.

From the source: There are many AI tools to help build presentations or slide decks. We’ve experimented with many of them and found some are pretty good, others are generic or pretty awful.
