Joe Rogan is one of the most popular American TV personalities out there. While Joe Rogan is often present at the commentators’ table during UFC events, he also hosts one of the most popular podcasts on the planet. However, in a recent mind-boggling podcast episode, the fans can listen to an AI-generated Joe Rogan interviewing Steve Jobs. This episode is doing rounds on the internet and rightly so.

As a matter of fact, the UFC commentator had already expressed his concerns about AI in episode #1274 of JRE. Rogan in this episode with Nicholas Christakis discussed the possibilities and scope of AI. Instead of being excited about the innumerable possibilities, the host was more worried about the negative repercussions.

Impersonating, Rogan said, “You know, Bill Clinton flew on his private jet no less than 26 times. Whatever, no big deal. But I mean I flew with him 26 times.” He added further, “Hey man, I’m making money. I like fly with Jeffery. I’m off to pay”

Following this, Joe Rogan clarified that he would do such a tour with his best friend only.

As expected, Joe Rogan was shocked to see the development and called deep fake technology “strange” and “awesome”. Furthermore, he predicted that the future will be “to be very, very strange.

And it did turn up that way, with his AI version having a conversation with now-deceased Steve Jobs.
