Dear non-native English speakers (I am one too :). Your presentations do not get better when you let ChatGPT or another LLM go over your speaker notes before presenting. Trust yourself. Be yourself. Your audience is forgiving. But when I notice you are just reading what the LLM has strung together, you lose my attention :(

I know. Quite some of you prefer to have it all spelled out. Others (like me) prefer to talk freely, with just a few bullet points in the speaker notes. That takes experience (not talent!) to do. But it is so worth it. It allows you to react immediately to the (unconscious) feedback of your audience. It makes for better presentations. It's never about the slides. It's not about a perfect text you've prepared. It's about you. The audience wants to know who you are and why you care! 2/3
