Why Is AI Bad at PPTs?

A nice ppt looks simple when it is finished, yet making one is one of the messiest creative jobs a machine can face. A presentation is not just text placed on slides. It is a mix of writing, design, timing, hierarchy, audience psychology, brand taste, and storytelling. AI can help with outlines, bullet points, speaker notes, and even basic layouts, but turning all of that into a deck that feels polished, clear, and human is still very hard. The gap exists because “nice” is a fuzzy target, and presentations live in that fuzzy space.
