Joe Rogan candidly shared his opinion on the impact of AI revolution on the humanity. The advent of AI has brought opportunities for advancement in complex problem solving, scientific breakthroughs and innovation. However, these are coupled with concerns of massive job displacements, economic distress and eventual existential crisis facing the human race.
In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, which aired on April 19, Joe Rogan and his guest Tim Dillon discussed the risks associated with the AI revolution.
Dillon noted that the reality is getting increasingly obscure with progress in AI-powered technology and use of AI-generated videos, voices and pictures. Rogan, agreeing with his take, stated:
"Reality is splintering and then, AI is about to take over our lives, and we're openly cheering it. And the world will never be the same again once it does. And, we're welcoming it."

Rogan then expressed his belief that live performances - such as stand-up comedy, music and sporting events - will probably be the hardest for AI to replace, explaining:
"Well, it's also the live performance is the last human stand, right? Where you could go and see something... That's so much different and that's a real human experience. Like, live sporting events. Real things. That's going to be the hardest to be replaced by AI."
