Depending on the ask, yes. Summarize this document - usually pretty correct, if verbose and disgustingly bland like eating paste. But then it’ll say “Do you want me to make this into a powerpoint?” and you go - sure, why not - and (true story) it goes “here it is” and there’s nothing there.
And you say “uh, there’s nothing there” and it goes “oh! Sorry. Here it is” and it links to a pdf. And you say “that’s not a powerpoint” and it goes “oh! sorry you’re right. Here.” and it links to a powerpoint that’s so sparse it seems like it assembled itself from the random background radiation of the universe - and it doesn’t even say what the summary said. It’s something sort of like it but worse somehow.
And that experience never changes. That’s essentially all any AI interaction will ever be.
The secondary use here is when you get asked in performance evaluation time how much you’re incorporating AI into your workflow. And you’d better not say “none” so you keep generating these nonsense documents and throwing them away so it appears like you’re using AI
I agree that that is an experience I have frustratingly had as well. I disagree that it won’t change. Agentic Ai allows for specialized services to be integrated. All it would take is an agent to be created that specializes in creating pptx documents and the integrated into the primary service. The capability already exists it just need to be implemented correctly.
Given the unprecedented amount of sheer capital rolling into this like an ocean falling down from space, over what, three years now? A subroutine to “make pptx” not existing doesn’t give me a ton of hope that anyone either knows what they’re doing or is able and willing to chop enough of it off to do that.
I hear it in concept, I’m just saying - it seems like such low hanging fruit it’s almost damning that it doesn’t exist.

Yeah. “How Every Business Is Screwing Itself By Requiring What It Doesn’t Understand”
