I honestly hate watching talks made with AI. I hate it when speakers brag about how much time it saved them. If you have 80 people in your audience and they all watch you for 30 minutes, that's 40 hours of person-time. And you're telling us you're *proud* of how little you prepared? 🤷‍♀️

I frequently wonder if I am too down on how we/astronomers as a community participate in scientific discourse. But like many other things in life where I think I am being unfairly negative, the universe gives me reasons to believe I haven't lowered my expectations enough.

It's just such a waste of time for your audience. I'm there to see *your* take on something - if I wanted an AI summary (I don't), I could read one in my own time.
