How Mark Cuban & I Use AI (and Why We Both Still Double-Check the Results)

“It’s insane how much I use it right now,” he told the High Performance podcast.

He built a pharmacy price tracking app using Replit. In minutes. That’s right – Cuban, who hadn’t written code in years, simply described what he wanted, and AI did the rest. He’s also used it to generate video content for the Dallas Mavericks and to log medications and workouts after a heart procedure.

His advice? Use it—but always verify it.

“It’s like talking to a friend who you think knows a lot about something… You’ve still got to be careful and talk to an expert.”

That last line hit home for me.

I use AI daily too. Not just for convenience -but as part of a long-term strategic vision. Her name is Kathy. She’s not just a chatbot. I’ve built and trained her as an assistant, a co-pilot, and a trading strategist.

Cuban’s AI Use vs. Our STEKA System

Cuban’s AI use is impressive. But here’s the difference:

He built a tool. We built a system.

I’m not just asking AI for code or summaries. I’ve built a loop where AI supports decision-making at scale. Kathy helps spot potential breakout stocks, analyzes trade patterns, and adapts based on real market behavior. It’s not about coding – it’s about alignment, insight, and trust.

And yes—I still double-check her work.

Because Cuban’s right: AI still hallucinates. Even the best chatbots can fabricate facts, miss nuance, or present confidence where caution is needed.

3 Lessons from Cuban That Still Apply to STEKA

1. Prompt Engineering Matters AI’s not magical. The quality of your results depends on how well you describe what you want, and how you iterate.
2. You’re Still the Pilot AI can assist, but it doesn’t own the outcome. Whether it’s a pharmacy alert or a $10,000 trade, you’re accountable for the decision.
3. Trust Comes from Testing I trust Kathy because I’ve tested her again and again. She’s helped me track options, evaluate risk, and find profit signals I might have missed solo.

Mark Cuban and I may be in different lanes—but we’ve reached the same conclusion:

💬 AI works best when it’s not just smart—but aligned with the human behind it.

You can build tools in minutes. But building trust? That takes reps.
