Slides are already soulless. This is one of the use cases where it makes far more sense to let an AI do its thing vs. spending time doing it yourself. Heck, one of my worst job experiences ever was at a place that would call planning meetings to talk about what should go on the slide deck... for a planning meeting to create a slide deck for a presentation to the VPs. Not even the C-suite.

When I talk about AI having places where it is the right answer, and places where it is the wrong answer... slide decks are probably the easiest place to say "yes, use AI."

As far as whether or not it makes the presenters look lazy... I think slide decks always looked lazy. Slide-driven leadership is a real thing, and it is bad.
