No more product managers, is it for real?

I have GPT4 subscription which does 30% of my job. I believe with time it has potential to do 80% of product managers’ job. A company will be able to work equally efficiently with 2 PMs instead of 6.

This will increase unemployment and competition immensely. What do you think?

GitHub copilot can write code does it mean software engineer jobs will disappear?

No but definitely lesser people required to do equal amount of work. Know about a startup which fired 2 out of 5 product managers and still managing to do equal amount of work that they planned with 5 PMs (company gave these 3 ai tools subscriptions).

Maybe they overhired PMs? Over-hiring is anyway a big problem in India.

This is the reality for every job. The operational tasks will be taken over, instead PMs will move towards more strategic thinking, running more experiments or innovating.

The structure of the job will change. This is a good thing.

That’s going to happen across industries and roles. Not just for PMs.

It's not like people who are employed as PMs today (good ones) -- highly industrious, moderate to high intelligence folks -- are going to have no jobs.

First principles can be applied everywhere. Same goes with engineers, business managers, or who ever else.

If you are smart and proactive enough, things will work out. It'll not always be amazing but yeah

How true is this?

How does the market demand for product managers in the short term? Do you guys see any reduced demand for the role? Difficult to find any openings or difficulty in clearing the interviews?
