This OpenAI product manager asks ChatGPT to impress him, and his real advice is about how the PM role is changing

OpenAI product manager Ty Geri uses voice dictation and unstructured rambling to brainstorm with ChatGPT, treating the AI as a collaborative thinking partner. He argues that AI tools are fundamentally changing the product manager role by allowing them to engage more deeply with technical processes.
Why it matters
This reflects a broader shift in the tech industry where AI is being integrated into professional workflows to expand the capabilities and responsibilities of non-technical staff.
OpenAI PM Ty Geri rambles at ChatGPT via dictation and asks it to impress him, but his bigger point is that PMs can now do anything
Ty Geri, a product manager at OpenAI who helped build ChatGPT Work , ends every prompt by asking ChatGPT to impress him. He admits it might not change the output at all. “ It could definitely just be in my head at this point, ” he told Business Insider.
His other strategy is cruder: long, unstructured rants. Geri books one of OpenAI’s meeting rooms, turns on his phone’s dictation, and rambles at ChatGPT until something useful surfaces. He describes the model as his thinking partner, one that can sort through a stream of consciousness and find what is worth keeping.
