Wave of Smug AI PMs and engineers from FAANG

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.

This is not about the PMs. It is the PM directors or the CEOs that want AI AI AI in everything in their company. AI makes it easy to get a promotion or get follow on funding

First was PM then TPM then Data PM and now AI PM. Seems like PMs will continue to invent new jobs based in current hype cycle.

Haaa... Jisme GPUs expensive ho gaye and Nvidia booked solid revenue. But at least AI can make deep fake, basic code, blog, do data analysis, generate images, clone voice, help with case studies. Compared to Crypto, AI has some utility.

It could be possible that the AI model itself prompts them to act in such a manner. Or perhaps the PMs themselves are integrated into a neuralink and AGI hybrid, forming a mechatronics organism. Food for thought.

[Hot Take] AI will make SWEs redundant, PMs and Marketers will become the most important job

It’s clear that companies won’t need engineers 10 years from now. They’ll just need people who know what to make. Who to sell to. How to sell to. At what price. This will be the great commoditization of Software development Take it or leave it.

Seeing lot of anti Product Manager sentiment on this app off late. Was Product Management also a fad?

Consultant, Investment Banking went from sought after careers to fads post 2008 crisis when the world realized that these folks are crooks due to their role in propogating the Great Financial Crisis. Given the backlash tech companies has been getting and global layoffs, will Product Manager also become a passing fad?

PMs in the (Generative) AI space

How does someone with 0 background in AI have enough knowledge to clear interview rounds at a company primarily into AI? Also, what kind of skills should I expect to put to use (barring the usual PM skills) to be a great PM in that space? In general, how to become a great AI PM? (I’m a non-engineer who found a break into Product after a year in Sales and shitty MBA from a T3 college)

Do not depend on jobs that make you tell others what to do , such as PM

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

PM/ Strategy roles AI safe?

I'm a software engineer with very little knowledge of what pms and strategy people do but whatever the level gpt might achieve in future, it may make coding jobs redundant but I believe product roles would still be `safe`. Thoughts?
