Key Takeaways According to investor Mark Cuban, there are two types of AI users: workers who use AI to deepen their knowledge versus those who rely on it to avoid learning.
Cuban said that using AI just to skip the work, rather than as a learning tool, will leave workers struggling in the long term.
Other researchers warned that depending on AI to do the thinking can lead to cognitive decline.
Investor Mark Cuban says AI is already changing how people work — and your success will depend on how well you learn to use it.
Cuban spoke on the Big Technology Podcast at the Dallas Regional Chamber’s Convergence AI event earlier this week. He told the podcast that the rise of AI is creating a clear divide between workers — those who use it to learn more and those who rely on it to take shortcuts.
“I think right now we’re bifurcating into two types of ways or two types of people that use AI — people who use AI so they don’t have to learn anything and people who use AI so they can learn everything,” Cuban said.
The difference could set one worker’s career apart from another.
“If you’re just using it just so you don’t have to do the work and it’s your drunk intern, you’re going to struggle,” Cuban said. He noted that while AI can act like a nonstop assistant for routine tasks, using it carelessly can hold a person back.
