During his interview, Mark Cuban reflected on how advanced the technology is now. Whether it is software that transforms podcasts into manuscripts or software that changes written content into audio, AI has taken over the world. Cuban addressed the impact of AI in our everyday lives, stating that it is important for people to know how to use it and be aware of how they are consuming it. He said:
"Because there are times when you don't care if its a real person and trying, you know from a media perspective understanding when somebody wants to see someone who is real, and human versus somebody whos fine that's an avatar I don't care, you know, I don't want to read, I want to listen.''
According to the Shark Tank investor, the main problems with AI are not being worried about getting tricked, but how the AI content is being monitored, as the majority consumes it. He further elaborated:
"They sound human, but it's just tech, and understanding when and how to use them and when to consume them is going to be really important. You know, we're worried about being tricked, that's important, but I think it's more important to know how to consume it and how to use it."
