thanks for highlighting my tiny contribution, IMHO many team level failings arise from a lack of investment in the backlog...now that's not writing, it's discussion and my hope is AI can be a cognitive co-pilot to PO's in framing their thoughts (not to do it for them/replace them) my goal is to make working lives better and I'm not investigating this to make people redundant.
I did use Steve jobs keynote to generate a backlog but I also recorded a discussion with my wife on my product definition and used the openAI whisper API to convert speech to text, then used the text to write PBIs and with little 'fettling' i got good PBI's I then asked the AI to split these into smaller stories, so some manual intervention (which is appropriate, remember a co-pilot not an auto-pilot).
as an agilist empirical process control is critical which means data driven, hypothesis/experimentation and rapid pivoting, the use of AI in this space can help human beings make smarter decisions, be better understood and to help with blind spots.
I don't think AI will replace PO's BUT i think PO's who use the tools available to them will replace PO's who don't.
