I don't think AI will replace me any time soon. After incorporating AI, I started to stand out from the crowd. Here is a list of 20 prompts that you can start using now.
This one has everything Elena! Great post. Could print this out and turn it into a nice little book to pass out to your office friends. And thank you for the shout!
1. AI's terrible with negative prompts. For example, "Answer this question but make sure not to use more than 50 words" or something like that -- very prone to hallucination. Keep things 'positive' as much as possible.
2. I saw somewhere (Harvard Business Review? Not sure) that the term 'knowledge worker' is transitioning to 'wisdom worker' because of AI. I find that quite accurate and relevant to your last point (on what AI doesn't do). Our PM work might get easier thanks to AI, enabling us to skip some of the 'knowledge' part. But that only means we need to focus on 'wisdom' to make a difference!
I think it depends on the situation. I can understand that some companies are concerned about data privacy. However, banning a tool that can increase the productivity of your entire company sounds like banning Excel by asking your employees to write everything down manually even in the 2000s.
Companies should promote best practices and formalize the use of AI, rather than prohibit it.
I found gen ai pretty useful as long as I have specific requirements ("find me data that supports XYZ. Include research, links, and sources) or generic requirements ("this feature does XYZ, what other use cases might it be good for?).
Anything in between and it becomes pretty useless. Thankfully, that's where our little brains come in!

That’s a great idea, Mike!
Great post!
Two things I'd add:
1. AI's terrible with negative prompts. For example, "Answer this question but make sure not to use more than 50 words" or something like that -- very prone to hallucination. Keep things 'positive' as much as possible.
2. I saw somewhere (Harvard Business Review? Not sure) that the term 'knowledge worker' is transitioning to 'wisdom worker' because of AI.

Thanks Alex I love that “focus on 'wisdom' to make a difference.“ I couldn't describe it better!
This is genius! Thanks for the actionable tips to use AI at work. This goes directly to my bookmarks! 🙌
Thanks Antonio! I appreciate this is very useful to you 🙌🏻
Thank you for your article.
What are your thoughts about companies which are still banning the use of AI?

Those are my thoughts, great question btw!

Thanks Alex, I think that's the complexity that only our brains can handle. 🧠
It's important to understand what is needed, how to ask for it and make it happen. ✅
Actually, not only for how to ask AI, but in general and with everyone is an essential skill for PMs! 😄
Excellent tips to use AI to extend our product management skills!
Thank you for the shout out!
Thank you, Amy!
