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

Also PMs are very often just following orders. Trust me bro, I am a PM working on AI

No. PMs are mini-CEOs 😎. They don't follow orders /s

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.

AI is a real deal unlike other technologies. Infact best mankind invention in the last 10 years.

What about CRISPR? Or cloud computing/datacenter tech, wouldn't you say it's a critical backbone for the industry at large?

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.

FAANG? What about all the .ai startups that are basic GPT wrappers?

@deadpm , they won’t be able to claim rolling out AI to 100s of millions of people

Not just pm and engineers, an architect cum CTO is boasting on LinkedIn about integrating AI into application, but not an ounce of AI exists and app is filled with leagacy code of 10 years.

[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
