And an open stage: pitch your own trial or research collaboration to a room of engaged trialists.

Your name and picture could be up there too.
Whether you design them, run them, read them, or teach them — this one's for you. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼

The quality of current LLMs for creating presentations is still remarkably poor. I don’t know what they were trained on, but the output is full of slogans, clichés, repetition, emphasis, and “not X, but Y” constructions. The graphics are also terrible: convoluted, cluttered, and full of inappropriate and unnecessary icons. Not to mention that the presentations all end up looking the same. LLMs can be useful if you lack the time or motivation to do the work yourself, but the audience notices. In the end, you may save time at the expense of your reputation and personal identity.
