ChatGPT as a product manager’s assistant

PMs need not apply, The Discourse #63

@tobiasrogers @kavir You're kidding right? A probabilistic bs generator is what you think will help a PM be more efficient?

@roezone @tobiasrogers @kavir

I think the point they’re trying to make is that the tool streamlines the initial stages of writing artifacts up. Removes the inertial writers block, and gets you into that editorial stage where you can start to refine ideas.

I don’t think anyone familiar with AI is expecting it to be a copy-pastable subsitituion for real product thinking.

@pvolo @roezone @kavir That's absolutely it.

I used to be a journalist before I was a PM and the hardest part about writing is getting from blank page to shitty first draft.

If ChatGPT can write a shitty first draft for you, then you can move into thinking, refining and editing which is where the real work happens.

@tobiasrogers @pvolo @kavir Except its (ai) content is shitty (for now anyways).

The first bit about the start up ideas is lousy and probably came from chatGPT in first place. The whole crappy article likely came from there and thats why I'm bothered :)

I like Seth's take that the rise of mediocre robot work inspires humans to be excellent.

PMs should be advocating for outcomes over outputs anyways.

Attention, trust and GPT3

When AI is smart enough to write an essay, then what happens? GPT3 is back in the news, because, as expected, it’s getting better and better. Using a simple chat interface, you can easily ask…

100% this. I’ve talked about ChatGPT being an assistant for tasks. Not perfect, but helpful for sure
