Joe Rogan is a household name in the world of UFC. The seasoned comedian is one of the few employees of the promotion to be in an over-a-decade-long tenure. His unmatched popularity has also made his podcast one of the most viewed ones. ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ has claimed the apex spot on Spotify’s ‘Top Podcasts’ list multiple times. Some of the most famous faces of the modern era have also joined ‘JRE’, including the Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, and Twitter CEO, Elon Musk.
Recently, on one such episode of ‘JRE’, Rogan and his guest, Brian Redban, drifted off from reality to discuss some futuristic issues. Redban is a comedian and a long-time friend of Rogan. He is also the former producer of ‘JRE’. The duo talked about a volley of other issues as well, apart from how AI will play a role in human lives in the future.

The former martial artist appreciated the swiftness of modern data processing systems, which allowed real-time outputs. Redban added that there are some industries making robots with such fast data processing speeds. He also added that the Twitter CEO, Elon Musk was also on such a project.
Redban said, “He makes robots with that. Realistic robots. The robot that Elon’s making, he put like fake skin on him, and in real-time, that could be a robot Joe Rogan. Voicewise, lookwise”.
Later, Rogan drew the reference to a Hong Kong product and graphic designer and stated, “That’s coming for sure. For sure, everyone gonna have Scarlett Johansson in their house”. The Hong Kong product and graphic designer, Ricky Ma, created a robot lookalike of the Black Widow actress, Scarlett Johansson.
Rogan predicted such robots to be found in every family in the future. He also referred to the noted TV show ‘Modern Family’ and stated, “It’s like their maid is gonna be a robot and look like a, what’s that lady from Modern Family, Sophia Vergara?”
An AI-powered Morgan Freeman took Rogan aback
Rogan and Redban also watched a video that featured the noted actor, Morgan Freeman, giving a speech. But the Freeman displayed on the screen was not the flesh-blood human we know. Instead, it was an AI-powered dummy who spoke the exact words that we were being spoken by his creator.
The video startled the former Fear factor host. He described, “O my God! This is incredible. So this guy is this bald dude, is this white guy on the bottom. And there’s a Morgan Freeman that’s artificially generated above him who’s saying the words that he’s saying in Morgan Freeman’s voice.”
Rogan also appreciated the video stating, “And it looks flawless”. Redban reminded the JRE host that the whole thing was happening in real-time.

The 55-year-old emphasized how such awesome processing speed can be used to create even better AI-powered videos. He stated, “they’ll be able to not just do a person’s face with a black background but like a complex imagery in the background. Like that person could be on the moon”.
We may agree that AI is getting increasingly important for us in our daily lives. So, would you agree with Rogan on this?
