Mark Cuban Defends AI Against Skeptics

Cuban praised frontier AI models on X, saying he appreciates systems that have already "gone down every internet rabbit hole" so users don't have to, calling Anthropic's Claude Co-Workfeature "a gem."

I can't begin to express my appreciation to frontier models that have gone down every internet rabbit hole so I don't have to.

Claude Co-Work is a gem.

His post drew a response from X user Chris Heredia, who argued that relying too heavily on AI could lead to the loss of nuance and context if users fail to ask the right questions or provide enough detail.

He also warned that some people may accept AI-generated responses as facts without verifying them.

'Neither Approach Is Perfect,' Says Cuban

Cuban pushed back, arguing that traditional search engines also have flaws.

"As opposed to all the links that earn their relevance as a result of SEO? Or influencers?" he wrote, suggesting search rankings and social media can also contribute to misinformation.

He added that modern large language models increasingly cite sources and let users ask follow-up questions to challenge or refine their answers.

"LLMs now show sources. And you can question them," Cuban wrote.

While acknowledging that neither AI nor search is perfect, Cuban said he believes AI will improve the quality of information over time.

"Neither approach is perfect," he wrote. "But I have no doubt the amount of misinformation will decline."

MIT Study, Google Feature Fuel AI Misinformation Debate

In June, it was reported that an open-access study by the MIT Media Labfound that much like GPS has reduced people's navigation skills, AI may weaken their ability to identify misinformation.

The study also highlighted the "AI dependency paradox," a phenomenon observed across multiple fields, including a 2025 study showing that doctors who used AI became less accurate at detecting cancer without its assistance.

Last month, Alphabet Inc.'s Googleintroduced a Google Earthfeature powered by its Nano Banana 2AI image generator, allowing users to create fictional imagery within the mapping app.

Critics, however, warned the tool could be used to generate and spread misinformation and the company had to temporarily disable the feature.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Arrived

Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100 . This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Realberry

Institutional-quality real estate has traditionally been difficult for individual investors to access. Realberry gives accredited investors direct access to private real estate opportunities backed by a team with 35 years of experience, $3.4 billion in assets under management, and $481 million in cumulative distributions paid to investors as of Q4 2025, according to the company. With a portfolio spanning 13 million square feet across seven U.S. states, Realberry focuses on acquiring, developing, and managing real estate with an emphasis on long-term value creation while its principals often invest alongside clients to help align interests.

FarmTogether

Farmland has historically held its value through market volatility and delivered returns uncorrelated to stocks and bonds. For accredited investors, FarmTogether offers direct access to high-quality U.S. farmland starting at $15,000 — fully managed, with no landlord headaches.

Immersed

Immersed is building technology for the future of work through spatial computing. Known for its AR/VR productivity platform that enables users to work across multiple virtual screens, the company has grown to more than 1.5 million users worldwide. Immersed is also developing Visor, a lightweight headset designed specifically for professional productivity, positioning the company at the intersection of remote work, extended reality (XR), and next-generation computing.

Fundrise

Private real estate and private credit can add income and stability to a stock-heavy portfolio. Fundrise offers access to diversified private real estate and credit strategies through an easy-to-use platform, with professionally managed portfolios designed to generate passive income and long-term growth.

Mode Mobile

Mode Mobile is changing the way people interact with their phones by letting users earn money from the same apps and activities they already use every day. Instead of platforms keeping all the advertising revenue, Mode Mobile shares a portion back with users who engage with content, play games, and scroll on their devices. Named one of Deloitte's fastest-growing software companies in North America, the company has built a large beta user base and is scaling a model that turns everyday smartphone usage into a potential income stream.

EquityMultiple

For accredited investors looking beyond stocks and bonds, EquityMultiple provides access to vetted commercial real estate deals starting at $5,000 , with only ~5% of opportunities passing their due diligence process.
