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.

To be fair to humans, 90% of the workday is spent using bizarre internal corporate speak that has evolved for indirectness approaching meaninglessness.

It’s asking a lot to recognize a real transactional moment, codeswitch, and present effectively to the narrow goal. Even then, the narrow goal (maximize the chance of external funding) might be misaligned with the broad personal goal (don’t overcommit… on fucking anything).

A robot can just maximize on the funding result. It didn’t spend its whole career being lectured in circles about the next “one-corpco initiative” that will replace everybody’s SAP front-ends or whatever.

I mean, if you're creating a pitch deck and not asking ChatGPT what it thinks about the messaging, you're being negligent. Of course you don't need to listen to its advice, but it takes five seconds to paste some text into ChatGPT and get additional suggestions that you might not have otherwise considered.

language model could, but did it in this experiment?

we can all make decks that say things people want to hear and then go to jail 12 years later

wait isn't that the point of fake it until you make it though
