Mark Cuban says he is an artificial intelligence fan. So it becomes a regular part of his everyday routine.
Billionaire entrepreneurs and startup investors use AI for “everything.” This includes writing code for software development. This is a skill Cuban has not used in years before, he added.
“It's insane how much you're using now. I downloaded, replicated, entered this app… You can compare the costs of pharmacies between companies and other companies.
He also uses AI to create text-to-video content for the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. He is the owner of a small group of teams – and to monitor his health, he said.
“I've been calling this Afib recently. [atrial fibrillation] And I had an ablation so I had to track down everything I was doing, the medication I was taking. And in the past, you may have downloaded the app and marked things down,” Cuba said. [went to ChatGPT] And I was going to… tell you when I took my medication and I did my training, and I want you to record it all. If you have any questions about writing down what you think is not right or write that you should be worried, let me know. ”
The technology is not perfect, Cuba said, “advanced programmers can do a better job.”

But if you're not a senior programmer, you can at least get used to the process of training your AI to provide the desired output, Cuba pointed out. Ai chatbots can hallucinate, generate manufactured information and present it as fact, he said.
Researchers at Columbia University's Towing Center for Digital Journalism found in a report published March 25 that “chatbots generally refused to answer questions that could not be answered correctly and instead were not good at providing false or speculative answers.”
Paid chatbots usually gave false answers more confidently than free chatbots. Also, some of the chatbots generated fake links when asked to “retrieve and quote news content accurately.”
“You have to be careful…it's like talking to a friend you think you know a lot about something,” Cuba said. “You still have to be careful and talk to the experts.”
Other high-tech billionaires, including several who have vested interests in promoting the use of AI, also say they regularly use the technology.
Openai CEO Sam Altman told Adam Grant's “Rethinking” podcast in January that he uses the technology to process emails and summarizes the documents. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, of course, uses Outlook's AI capabilities to organize and arrange their inboxes, said at Fast Company Innovation Festival 2024.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang manufactures computer chips used to train and develop AI models, helping them write drafts using chatbots.
“I'll give it a basic outline, give it a PDF of some of my previous talks and make sure I write my first draft,” Huang said. “It's really amazing.”
