When the AI invents a statistic
A confident 47% with no source is a slide you cannot defend. Generated decks love round numbers. Your job is to delete them or replace them with yours.
Treat every figure on an AI slide as a placeholder until you paste it from a sheet you own. MagicSlides drafts structure. It does not audit your market.
Red-team the nouns
If you did not type the number, assume it is wrong. Charts with no axis units are the same sin in a prettier font.
Cite or cut
A footnote with a URL or ‘internal Q2 close’ is a slide. A floating percent is a rumour you will be asked to repeat in the hallway.
Frequently asked questions
What if I only need a shape for rehearsal?
Watermark the draft. Do not send it. People screenshot rehearsal.
Can I prompt it not to invent numbers?
You can ask. Still read the output. Models like to be helpful with fake precision.
