Mark Cuban says there are two types of people who use AI. Which one are you?
“There are generally 2 types of LLM users, those that use it to learn everything , and those that use it so they don’t have to learn anything,” Cuban said of large language models in an X post on Tuesday.
The “Shark Tank” billionaire has been bullish about AI and said that companies need to embrace it.
Cuban has said there will be “two types of companies: those who are great at AI, and everybody else,” Business Insider’s James Faris previously reported. He’s also said that AI models can’t provide all the answers and are “stupid” but like “a savant that remembers everything.”
Bill Gurley, a partner at the Silicon Valley venture capitalist firm Benchmark, agrees “100%” with Cuban that there are two types of AI users.
“If you are on a custom career path where you aim to differentiate yourself, AI is ‘jet fuel’ – you can learn and soar faster than ever before,” Gurley said on X in response to Cuban.
Or, it could have the opposite effect.
Even some of AI’s biggest proponents have warned that the technology could make people lazy.
Arthur Mensch, CEO of Mistral AI, said last year that the biggest risk to humans posed by AI was “deskilling” and employees becoming lazier as they rely too heavily on the AI tools.
“You want people to continue learning,” he said in an interview with The Times of London. “Being able to synthesize information and criticize information is a core component to learning.”
Business Insider reached out to Cuban for additional comment.
