I used to check slides the hard way - clicking every object, eyeballing every font, hoping I'd catch what my eyes kept missing. Then I wrote a script to do it for me. My first reaction was: oh shit, that actually worked. What happened after I ran it four more times is the part nobody talks about.

I pasted my messy notes in. Not the polished draft — the real one. I wasn't looking for publishable output. I wanted a second pass on my thinking. Three weeks in, something shifted. AI wasn't editing my status updates anymore. It was pressure-testing my judgment. That's a different thing entirely.
