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

I tried to generate slides with "Bible" in its prompt, as I wanted to see if I could generate slides for use at my church. It looks like any mention of "Bible" or religious words are considered "sexual, hate, violence, health topics"??? EDIT: When I took out the word "Bible", it worked. I tried "Genesis chapter 2" and it generated a decently good looking deck, which was impressive, and definitely usable. However, if…

Obvious miss, fixed.

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.

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): Content improvement (related to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34505183 ) Old: Why use Hacker News: https://slidesgpt.com/l/X3sU New: Why use Hacker News: https://s…

This is one of few demos like this I have tried out that has worked near 100% of its promise with little revisionary effort.

Health. Defense. Bible. History. Sex. Of course it's totally morally wrong to generate decks about all those issues.
