The problem with “AI will replace you” is that it is an overstatement of what AI is, and an understatement of what you are.

If you are a PM or in general a product person, I encourage you to deeply understand what makes this role so uniquely special. You may find encouragement in realizing what parts of our job are truly differentiated & durable. My recent writings have been trying to unpack this more, for those of you most curious or eager. The gist is that there’s a lot more than meets the eye, and the uniqueness is in the psychology, user comprehension and leadership that we bring to the job.
