AI Joe Rogan speaks to AI Steve Jobs

It started with a tweet

Today, I found a tweet from someone I follow who listened to an AI generated podcast episode. He said it was nuts, and it piqued my interest.

you can certainly tell something is a bit off, however, this is pretty fucking nuts altogether

the weirdness i think comes from nuanced vocal inflections and sentence structure, but these two sound exactly like their IRL counterparts – take a listen https://t.co/HXyec5n4JU

My initial thoughts and opinions

I decided to give it a listen, and give my opinion. You can definitely tell both voices are AI. However, there were some parts of the conversation that almost felt real. It was a strange listening experience, but it has me both excited yet cautious.

Obviously, if it gets too hard to tell a part, then it could lead to some dangerous practices. You could easily pretend someone had a conversation with another person where they said something they didn’t. But they wouldn’t be able to prove whether it is true or not, because of this AI audio.

On the other hand, you could gain insight and knowledge from something you’d never expect to gain it from. Like with this episode, I possibly gained some insight into Steve’s mind. There was also humour where Joe and Steve discuss throwing macs out the window. It was funny because it’s completely unbelievable, but would have been if it were a real conversation.
