Can you imagine anyone replacing the iconic Joe Rogan from his podcast? That doesn’t even sound good. But that is something the UFC commentator has in the back of his mind as a viable course of action for ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, when and if it experiences a slump.

In the latest episode of the JRE, Joe Rogan had the ‘Meat Eater’ host, Steven Rinella as his guest, and the two discussed the current scenario of everything happening with Twitter and the chaos it has generated. While on the subject, the 55-year-old talked about his plans if his podcast ever experiences a sluggish period. According to Rogan, he’ll have to sell it in that scenario. But there is a catch. That won’t be a person. Instead, JRE would have an AI host. That’s Rogan‘s plan. Selling the JRE to an AI host.

Given all the many things AI is now capable of, maybe creating an AI-generated Joe Rogan won’t be much of a challenge.

The 55-year-old stated, “If I ever get to the point of this podcast has a slack, I’m going to sell it. I’m gonna sell it to AI.”

He continued by providing the justification by pointing out that AI already performs his job. “Because they can already do (interviews).”

With that statement, Joe Rogan talked about a rather freaky incident that recently took place. Not so long ago, AI was able to produce a full-fledged conversation between him and the late Steve Jobs simply as a work of simulation. Moreover, the strangest aspect of the interview was how frighteningly authentic it sounded.

When AI generated a JRE episode with Steve Jobs

Later in the show, when talking about selling the JRE to an AI, Rogan recalled an absurd thing that the AI had previously accomplished. Given that artificial intelligence has the capacity to simulate almost any situation, the technology once produced an entire conversation between Joe Rogan and Steve Jobs. And the podcast host was rendered stunned by this as he talked about it.

Rogan said, “They did an AI interview with me and Steve Jobs. I never met Steve Jobs. So, they put together a podcast with me and Steve Jobs.” He went on to remark on how convincing the interview was as well.

“It’s f*****g wild. Because you’d listen to it, you’d believe it’s true.”

Seeing how far technology has advanced is definitely perplexing. However, Joe Rogan’s persona is the reason the JRE is what it is today. Do you think AI could replace Rogan?
