@OP I'm in an area where they trialed HPOM which is now AIPOM. Honestly, a lot has changed in day-to-day work as a product manager. While the core responsibilities remain the same, there is an emphasis on burning tokens even if using AI is not relevant in that case. Our customer base is deeply unhappy with the AI slop that is now added to SAP products. They want SAP to focus on functionality that they have been asking for for years and instead SAP keeps talking about more AI features. This may impact revenue in a year or two, who knows! I think documentation has gotten better and worse at the same time. We have a meeting where we transcribe everything, ask AI to create a summary, then a few days later ask AI to go through all the summaries to find relevant action items. While it seems structured, it is actually the opposite because there is so much clutter. I literally need AI to navigate through this clutter to find something useful. Personally, I don't like it. It seems like a lot of busy work that generates little to no value. The only value it generates is documenting our job and work well so we can be easily replaced. And that is not a good feeling either. I miss the simpler times when SAP focused more on customer needs than AI slop to bring the share price up. AI is making us more bloated.
When you wrote "we only got some white paper word salad in the email and it does not say anything concrete", this is exactly how I feel about being in the new model. Imagine that everything around you is a white paper word salad and you have to use AI to even make sense of what you are being told. That's how AIPOM is for many of us. But our management treats it as gospel so we all pretend to love it. After all, anyone who doesn't use AI will find themselves in these lists that management is making for 2027 and 2028 layoffs.
