Mark Cuban Declares AI Stupider Than Average Shark Tank Contestant
KEY POINTS
- •Mark Cuban said during a Las Vegas call that CEOs must master every AI tool’s nuance to survive.
- •He warned that irresponsible AI use could destroy businesses and devalue intellectual property.
- •Cuban highlighted major tech firms competing for AI dominance but admitted the ultimate winner is unclear.
On a call fresh from the concrete jungles of Las Vegas’ Fiserv Forum, billionaire Mark Cuban, whose passive income probably sounds like a robot humming, declared that every CEO must obsess over AI nuances because 'there's two types of companies: great at AI and doomed.' Despite ChatGPT’s three years on earth and AI's ominous decade-scale lineage, Cuban compared the AI revolution to a baseball preseason game — so, basically endless warm-ups with no winner yet. Tech Goliaths like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Elon Musk's xAI are burning billions like it’s Monopoly money. Cuban’s candid take? ‘AI is stupid, but it’s a savant that remembers everything,’ meaning it’s like your forgetful yet super-efficient intern who quotes Wikipedia verbatim but makes stuff up. Warning to businesses: sharing your ideas online is handing your intellectual property to AI chatbots like handing candy to a toddler. The era of 'publish or perish' just turned into 'post and watch your secrets get copied,' and Cuban insists CEOs better understand every shading of AI or prepare for a very costly distraction indeed.
