    Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this whole AI phenomenon has been the overzealous censorship.

    Here I tried to make a slide deck: Acinetobacter baumannii essential gene network.

    Sure okay.

    Tom from SlidesGPT here.

    About 40 days ago I've first posted SlidesGPT on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34503970)

    Based on feedback, scalability should be improved now, also the content of slides should have improved (but still varies):

    Please let me know your feedback, thanks, Tom

    Made a deck about e-commerce funnel analysis.

    Bunch of the images are clearly copyrighted, from sources I’d get in trouble for using — not to mention they are medical-related, not e-commerce related.

    I’d suggest sourcing images only when they’re legally used.

    Also long and run-on without the traditional “table of contents” slide and/or “thank you” slide which are must-haves.

    Otherwise, this was pretty cool and I can see how it’d work as a great template for further tuning.

    Question on a tangent -- what is the way to programmatically create PPTX files?

    We may have a separate usecase that can benefit from this integration. Any pointers or example code appreciated.

    I wrote give me the future of AI in the style of Apple and it outputted a deck positioning Apple’s future of AI.

    When in reality I want the slide deck to be in the style of Apple Keynotes

    I tried one and it consistently cut off text by overflowing the length of the slide.
