Artificial-Intelligence generated Joe Rogan podcast stuns the UFC commentator with terrifying accuracy
Joe Rogan recently had his mind blown when the trailblazing artificial intelligence model ChatGPT recreated a 51-minute episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Fans and social media users were particularly blown away by the accurate recreation of Rogan's and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's voices.
Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool driven by artificial intelligence technology that enables the user to have human-like conversations with the chatbot along with a plethora of other tasks.
Keeping in mind Rogan's usual topics of discussion on the podcast, which have covered technology and ethics, the artificial podcast adopted similar themes of conversation.
The fake voices of Rogan and Altman went over topics such as the need for ethics in artificial intelligence, ChatGPT's impact on the content creation market, concerns about 'deep fake' content and Elon Musk speaking about OpenAI.
As many expressed their opinions on the incredible feat of technology, Rogan weighed in on how it felt watching an AI version of himself and tweeted:
"This is going to get very slippery, kids."
