What prompting did the engineer use to get the HTML slides?

The initial instruction was roughly: make it slide-like but do not use Marp at all, feel free to be creative but make sure it communicates clearly, prioritize conveying the message, and run self-review to improve.

Why does the engineer think HTML works better than slide tools?

Plain HTML beats Marp for AI-built slides, engineer finds

3 Key Points

What happened
A freelance engineer asked AI to build slides in plain HTML with minimal prompting, and the result was more expressive and smoother than a Marp version of the same content.
Why it matters
The engineer attributes the better result to AI having far more training material for web pages than for slide tools, so reframing the task as 'build a web page' plays to AI's strengths.
