alt Hacker NewsBut if you are managing AI agents you dont' need "soft skills" do you? You don't need to be especially nice to the AI, or symphatize with it, or have fun with it to build trust,
I would imagine that managing a team of AI-agents is totally different from managing a team of people.

“Soft skills” in management just means figuring out how to get what you want from the people you have available to you. In that respect those skills translate to using an LLM.

Soft skills isn't just about being nice.
It's about knowing the capabilities of people, what can they do, what do they excel at and where they need support.
The exact same applies to LLMs, each of them have their own very distinctive styles as well as strengths and weaknesses.
Just like human engineers, LLMs can't just be plugged in to the same role as the previous one with the same instructions and expect the same results.
Thus: soft skills.
