This says more about VC's than it does about AI

I'm in agreement regarding more. But I think it also says something about clear messaging and how many people struggle with that. It's actually consistent with YC advice. They say most pitches fail to even convey what the hell they are doing and what problem they are solving. I suspect a language model will get that part across rather well.

yeah i wont be impressed by ai until it comes and breaks down my door, pulls me out of my chair, and kicks my own ass

On unrelated note looks like some of Reddit communities migrated to lemmy fediverse.

> 1 in 5 investors and business owners pitched by GPT-4 would invest $10,000 or more.

This is a completely useless metric and also a common pitfall. It's been shown many times that what people say they would invest/pay for something is completely unrelated to what they actually do when push comes to shove.

In my experience having pitched to VC's it's not that there is a perfect deck but many really bad ones.

I.e. there is diminishing returns on a "perfect" pitch deck. You just want to be in the category of not sucking and the decks level of perfection is no longer important.

Today I would even go as long as to say the pitch deck is much less important than a demo.

You can in theory pitch in an email, the rest is just to make everyone feel good about giving and receiving the money.

I think this is actually a good thing.

It seems there are a lot of people who have no talent but being able to hype up ideas. Often they have overshadowed the actual people who come up with and implement ideas.

GPT-4 and LLMs in general democratizing generating BS may actually shift the advantage more to the actual doers.

For example, There are probably on HN brilliant developers who have written at the core of really groundbreaking services and applications but will never be able to get consideration because they just don’t have the talent for making slick decks. Them being able to use GPT-4 to generate pitch decks would allow them to get their ideas in front of a lot more people.

> "democratizing generating BS"

I feel like this meaning of 'democratizing' is jumping the shark. Did that word always mean this? Is it going to keep meaning it?
