Key Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 <\/strong>Workslop = AI-generated work that looks acceptable but is empty. <\/strong>In a presentation, the effect is multiplied because it breaks the trust in real time between the speaker and the listener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  The brain is becoming an anti-slop radar. <\/strong>We recognize AI at the perceptual level, below the threshold. It’s a reflex, not a decision, and it’s getting better month after month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  A slide has a quarter of a second to not be labeled as AI slop. <\/strong>If the audience even suspects, the attention span collapses and does not recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  A presentation exists to build trust, not to convey information. <\/strong>If it breaks trust, it has failed, even if the contents are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  AI should be used upstream, never downstream. <\/strong>Thinking with AI: yes. Generating the final slide with AI: zero respect for those in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
