I've got a fair bit of experience preparing presentations for C-suite and the Board and I would definitely use AI for it.

One time I came across fetish porn that was about car tires having sex with the road. It's been stuck in my mind for like 20 years now and it's not even the weirdest fetish I've ever seen.
