21.6 million views a week from ai ugc slideshows, and the actual mechanic behind it is boring compared to the number. gpt-6 opened up something most people building these slideshows haven't touched yet, keeping notes across a long batch instead of compressing everything into a lossy summary every few slides. forty slides deep, it still remembers why slide six worked. took me eleven failed slideshows before one actually pulled real numbers. the eleventh worked because i fed it three real reference examples instead of describing a vibe. (that gap between "describe the style" and "show the exact example" cost me a week I'd rather not have lost.) the caption on every slide states one thing. no softening it with a second sentence that undoes the first. what i still haven't figured out: two slideshows built from the same source material, same hook structure, and one pulls 4x the other. still testing why. https://x.com/EXM7777/status/2097713112250253528/video/1(CyrilXBT)
