AI from executive's perspective

No, I'm not talking about the job market. That's dog shit -- barely any vacancies, and engineers earn 25%ish more. However, in a world with 10x better Co-Pilots and other GenAI tools, problem identification is going to be every employee's moat. 'Tech-Enabled' Business PMs will have the brightest futures. There's already a rise in PM-led vs Eng-led startups. This will become clearer 5-10 years down the line. Also, supply-demand is not as skewed as you think. Everyone thinks this job is easy, and hence, a bunch of folks are aspiring PMs on LinkedIn. I believe quality PMs are still rare (personally have a long way to go). Would love to hear more. I'm young in my career and maybe naive but this is what I feel.

Because AI will do it better and faster than you sooner or later. Looking at you consultants 👀 https://x.com/lennysan/status/1810686158201901488?t=2o5TlDoFMnuuAu2WmTwlZQ&s=19

Recently there has been a huge drama at OpenAI. But rather than AGI, even a targeted model that has been trained on decades of experience of a firm can do a lot of things. With possible future advancements in quest for AGI, what do you think will change in your role?

Hiring managers are usually engineering managers when it comes to prod company, or some random outdated tech guy in some other companies. When you discuss collaboration, vision, ways of working with them in your interview etc. what challenges have you faced? What kind of disconnects do you think exists?

Recently we saw Paytm making layoffs due to AI. Are there any other companies that did the same? People whose companies laid off people due to AI. What kind of automations made it possible? Is AI actually doing the work or is it just an excuse to lay off people?

Incoming!. Every FAANG PM is thinking about and working on integrating Gen AI into their features. This includes PMs and engineers who oversee 1-2 features in the entire product. And will oversell their part in it. For promotions to job switches these guy have to shout ‘I used a lot of Gen AI to change the world’ And then to sell it on LinkedIn for getting likes. The PMs will sound like they were just as visionary as Sam Altman who made GPT in the first place. And the engineers will sound like they coded GPT and will invent AGI themselves while they just integrate 2 APIs. You’ve been warned.

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks
