"AI is just like the internet. People can use it to learn all kinds of topics, or use it in ways that "degrade" their thinking. "With AI, if you use it in a lazy way, it will make you worse at critical thinking and so on," he said. "But that's down to you as the individual. No one can help you do that." He added that people need to be smart and use these technologies in ways that enhance their thinking rather than dull it."
""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. Cuban has previously said that AI models can't provide all the answers and are "stupid" but like "a savant that remembers everything.""
AI resembles the internet in its potential to expand learning or to degrade thinking depending on user behavior. If used lazily, AI can weaken critical thinking skills. Individual choices determine whether AI sharpens or dulls cognition. Users need to apply AI in ways that enhance their thinking rather than replace effort. DeepMind merged with Google Brain in 2023 and produced models such as Gemini and Nano Banana. Researchers associated with that lab received the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for protein structure prediction. As AI becomes more integrated into daily life, tech leaders warn that overreliance can foster dependency and laziness, and distinguish users who learn from those who avoid learning.
