Is the 'AI Product Manager' title ridiculous, or am I missing something?

AI is getting slapped onto anything and everything right now, and there's a lot of interesting shit happening in the space, but there's also a lot of ridiculousness coming out of the space.

The one that seems the most ridiculous is the AI Product Manager title. I get that there's specific domain/technology expertise you need to work with an AI product, but how does that differ from any other 'non-ai' product? We don't have 'FinTech Product Managers' or 'Cyber Security Product Managers' - but for some reason we need 'AI Product Managers?'

It feels a lot like when UX became the hot new trend in Design like 15 years ago, and before long every designer has slapped UX into their title because it added a few grand to their salary, and then they just cracked on doing the same UI focused work they were doing before.

Am I missing something? 🤔
