Speaking on the live-streamed tech show TBPN on Thursday, the billionaire investor said he recently bought a Mac Mini<\/a> to help manage the growing flood of inbound messages.<\/p>\n “I do what everybody else does. I bought a Mac Mini,” Cuban said, referencing the recent craze of people buying up the Apple computers and installing AI agents like OpenClaw <\/a>on them.<\/p>\n Beyond AI-generated emails, he said the issue is unwanted email subscriptions.<\/p>\n “It’s not even like the cold emails<\/a> because that’s pretty obvious,” Cuban said. “It’s people subscribing me to shit.”<\/p>\n His fix, he said, is to use AI to automate the cleanup.<\/p>\n Cuban said he is training systems to take advantage of Gmail’s built-in unsubscribe button<\/a>, effectively creating a loop where AI filters out AI-generated noise.<\/p>\n “You just got to train it to hit the unsubscribe button,” he said. “Then, I just review it and all that shit, so it’s still a work in progress, but at least I have a path.”<\/p>\n Cuban didn’t immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comments.<\/p>\n A ‘trial and error phase’<\/p>\n The approach reflects a broader shift in how executives are using AI to manage their inboxes.<\/p>\n LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky has said he uses Microsoft’s Copilot for “almost every<\/a>” high-stakes message, and executives across industries, from tech to retail, recently told Business Insider’s Ana Altchek that they rely on AI for day-to-day communications<\/a> and reviewing documents.<\/p>\n Cuban framed the current moment as a trial-and-error phase, where people are testing what works and what doesn’t.<\/p>\n “We’re in that trial and error phase where people are like, ‘We’re going to try it, see what happens,'” he said, adding that response rates will likely fall as more AI-generated messages flood inboxes.<\/p>\n “Then they’ll get bored, and then it’ll drop off,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Cuban says the rise of AI-generated cold emails has gotten so overwhelming that he is now fighting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":536441,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[182,181,507,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-536440","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=536440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536440\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/536441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=536440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=536440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=536440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
