ChatBCG: Generative AI For Slides
- pcrh 4y agoHilarious. It really goes to show how little intelligence or innovative thinking is needed for entry-level positions in McKinsey, BCG, etc.

- version_five 4y agoIt's surprising more people don't go work at those places then, they pay very well
- pcrh 4y agoThey select based on salesmanship, "polish" and "pedigree".
- hestefisk 4y agoHow does it do that, exactly? I asked it to provide an overview of the consumer banking market size in Indonesia and it came out with a few bullets on challenges. Hardly intelligent.
- phillipcarter 4y agoHiring McKinsey is a surefire way to burn a lot of money and get nothing done (see all government contracts they get).
- adamsiem 4y agoThey don’t mention they are using the iA Presenter open beta for all the heavy lifting of slide design and layout.
- version_five 4y agoIt asked for a signup after my first try which is not appropriate for a joke site imo. Incognito mode seems to solve it. Is it because of a fear of bots? It would be nice if there was a better way to deal with it than asking for signup

- personjerry 4y agoIt's an upsell
- voltaireodactyl 4y agoI didn’t even get the first try due to server overload — and every subsequent try wants my google account. No sale.
- cutenewt 4y agoIt's a good prototype, but not super impressed with the output. It seems like a rehash of ChatGPT and assignment of generic stock photos. For this to really take off, it should include collaborative bot editing -- that is, ask the bot to change slide #2 with several iterations.
- TechBro8615 4y agoGreat name.
- m00dy 4y agowhat does it stand for ?
- e1g 4y agoBCG is a premier management consulting firm, like McKinsey. Start with any MBA stereotype, add more slides and coke.
- m00dy 4y agocoke like in cocaine ?
- yieldcrv 4y agonarcan and narcan accessories
- niels_bom 4y agoBoston Consulting Group iirc.
- anothernewdude 4y agoBig Coked Gorillas
- tumetab1 4y agoNot really but I read it as a reference to a tuberculosis vaccine, the BCG vaccine :D

- sabertoothed 4y agoLawsuit waiting to happen.
- btdmaster 4y agoIt's using text-davinci-003. (I learned this from the /stream endpoint.) Really nicely formatted. The images are a bit inconsistent, it would be nice to be able to regenerate a particular image again to get a more suitable one for the text.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoWith the right group, this could make for a great Powerpoint Karaoke[1] night. 1. https://www.powerpointkaraoke.com/ https://www.powerpointkaraoke.com/
- sykseh 4y agoYus!
- andirk 4y agoI was surprised it used half of the slides of "obama drone strikes" about the willful neglect for the human toll of civilian deaths [0], in some cases ~90%, (find the bad guy, bomb the entire block). I was expecting more of a synopsis of what happened rather than the issues with it. The creators should take a look the only cool TechCrunch Disrupt winner, Qwiki, which turned searches in to audio and visual slides [1]. But Yahoo bought it for $50 million, turned down Google's offer thereafter of $150 million, then buried it forever a year later.

Of those, only 35 were the intended targets. During one five-month period of the operation, according to the documents, nearly 90 percent of the people killed in airstrikes were not the intended targets."

- spawarotti 4y agoAccording to [0] the toll of civilian deaths is 9% not ~90%: > The 542 drone strikes that Obama authorized killed an estimated 3,797 people, including 324 civilians.
- andirk 4y agoThank you. Edited to be very specific instead of a blanket percentage.
- HALtheWise 4y agoI don't know how significant this is, but "not the intended target" and "civilian" could mean very different things. In particular, it seems likely that a strike targeted at a terrorist leader has a high chance of killing their aides or others in the car, who are probably members of the terror cell, even though they weren't the actual target of the strike.

- xarball 4y agoOh my goodness, I typed "My Butt", and then couldn't catch my breath laughing. A+, that was a journey I wasn't prepared for =P
- ben_w 4y agoSadly overloaded by the time I tried to see what made it funny. I'm going to just imagine it was an over-serious presentation about your butt being a fantastic investment opportunity with unicorn potential, offering growth of 35% per year by providing a zero-carbon solution to gas shortages. All illustrated by DALL•E.
- unixhero 4y agoThis looks like high schooler slides. BCG is still safe.
- bemmu 4y agoMade a similar one, but for generating Stable Diffusion-illustrated narrated slideshows. Haven’t made a web interface for it as it’s somewhat expensive to run, but here is example output: https://www.youtube.com/@artificialinsanity/videos https://www.youtube.com/@artificialinsanity/videos I also have a “producer” script which comes up with the ideas for the video topics for the other script to make.
- visarga 4y agoI suggest you use better voices. Here is a child voice from NaturalReader https://vocaroo.com/16ifZx5kH5WX https://vocaroo.com/16ifZx5kH5WX
- aaronsdevera 4y agoI would love to try it, but I’ll wait until the registration pop up is gone and the HN attention stops DOSing the backend. But from the sound of the website description this is a next and welcome step in the semi intelligentification of anything
- shving90 4y agoFor full stack web developers out there what stack and software architecture would you build this apps in?
