The Blue Blob and the Product Hats

A tiny blue explorer finds a robot building things very quickly while the humans are in a queue being handed hats that say Product Thinker.

New subject detected

A room where AI is building quickly, while people are suddenly handed “Product Thinker” hats.

Scene

The Blue Blob finds a robot rapidly building buttons, forms, dashboards, automations and small tools. Nearby, operators, analysts, managers and engineers are being handed new hats. The things being built are coming up quicker but piling.

Field Note #025

Useful context

As AI makes drafting, coding, prototyping and analysis faster, the bottleneck can shift from building the thing to deciding whether the thing should exist, who it is for and what trade-off it creates.
