Interestingly, a lot of the engineers I know are hoping for the exact opposite. They're hoping that AI will humble the business, management, product types.

The way they see it, AI can easily shit out a hundred product concepts, market research, slide decks, sales emails, reports, etc. No need to bring on MBAs or self-proclaimed visionaries or LinkedIn gurus.

I think both camps will be disappointed. The engineers will be disappointed that they'll still need vapid business/product people to keep them pointed at projects that will actually put food on the table. The business/product people will be disappointed that they'll still need sanctimonious engineers to make anything actually work.

Yeah many have their favorite gripes with $TheOthers, and hoping that the AI will solve them. It won't - not because AI isn't good, but because the people involved will quickly adapt. Likely making new annoying behaviors, and probably many will adapt to find new things to be annoyed at also.

Well, real business is more than slides and content, just like real product development is more than coding.

Yeah, those who were creating sophisticated business models on Excel, fancy slides, etc, yeah, they will also get humbled.
