@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net This works well for any language not in your native language.

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net I'm losing interest the moment it's clear that the speaker notes are read: I could do that myself quicker, and they're not what I came for - LLM or not. Getting used to good presenting (and getting feedback) is not hard: just find a local #Toastmasters club and practice. They give good feedback and exposure to presenting. If presenters care for their audience, they prepare and practice. Even and especially the good ones, but it's true for all: There are safe spaces to practice.

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net I love when people turn a talk into a write-up!! It's really sad when you find a slide deck on some random website for a topic you're interested in, and it's completely useless on its own.

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net Fully agree! But there are some times it's good to get rid of typos and other distracting details. It's not about the text flow itself, but when you read "Finald" over and over again on slides and the speaker talks about "Finland" - it can get distracting. Once is fine, but more times can easily get distracting. And especially when you're in a room with some people from Finland. That said, it is the message you convey as a presenter which is the important detail. Speaking freely and being able to "forget" about the slides during the presentation definitely gives the best presentation experience for people in the audience.
