The advent of Artificial Intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT, has seen many employees reconsider their job security and ask themselves if they would not be out of jobs very soon.
I am sure as a Product Manager, you must be wondering if ChatGPT is a threat to your job. And with people trying to do more with less people, for instance Elon Musk and Twitter and the recent increase in tech layoffs
First of all, for those who do not know about ChatGPT, here is a little introduction to ChatGPT.
ChatGPT stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, and it is a chatbot developed by OpenAI that optimizes language models for dialogue. The application is built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 family of large language models, and is fine-tuned with both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.
OpenAI released its viral ChatGPT in November 2022 and within three months, it had reached over 100 million users, including my humble self, of course.
Think of ChatGPT as a friendly know-it-all friend who has access so much information that it knows everything and uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to generate natural language responses to a wide range of questions.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, was founded in 2015 by?CEO Sam Altman,?Billionaire Elon Musk,?Reid Hoffman,?Jessica Livingston,?Elon Musk,?Ilya Sutskever,?Peter Thiel, Olivier Grabias and others. It conducts AI research with the declared intention of promoting and developing a?friendly AI.

I then asked ChatGPT another question – “What ChatGPT cannot do for me as a Product manager”
This was its response.?
While ChatGPT can be a valuable tool for product managers, there are some limitations to what it can do. Here are a few things that ChatGPT cannot do for you as a product manager:
As you can see, your job as a Product manager is still very relevant and you have no need to fear ChatGPT or any other AI related chatbot.
Personally, I see ChatGPT as an ally to the average Product Manager and you should use ChatGPT to your advantage.
ChatGPT cannot replace a Product Manager's intuition, empathy, stakeholder management skills, teamwork and collaboration skills. Above all, you are human and ChatGPT is not.
