Overview
AI can assist with product procedures, generate prototypes, and help simplify an interface. It can also surface options the human did not initially consider. Those contributions do not remove the requirement to test the idea against actual people.
Keeping product vision human-owned creates a continuing responsibility. The operator cannot disappear after issuing a broad instruction. Someone must maintain the mission, choose among competing requests, and decide what not to build.
The counterpoint is that more capable models may increasingly identify valuable opportunities and hidden problems. That makes them stronger collaborators, not independent owners of the product.
Their suggestions still need to be evaluated against customer evidence and the intended purpose of the system.
