Fans react to ‘scary’ AI Joe Rogan and Steve Jobs podcast

Many fans also reacted to the podcast created by Podcast.ai and found it unsettling. They expressed their fear of the rapidly growing technological advancements. The team of Podcast.ai revealed that AI had created the podcast on its own after researching Steve Jobs. It is a great achievement from a technological point of view, but many fans found it very distressing.

Here are some of the reactions from users on Twitter:

• The scary thing isn’t that you did this, it’s that this tech is going to be used for very bad things.
• Scary stuff. Wonder if it’s only a matter of time before this not only becomes as valuable as a real interview would have been, but more valuable than a real interview would have been…
• AI podcasts are scary. Imagine an AI politics podcast where the generation prompt is “Talking Points” of an extremist group. They dig in to content with emotional value rather than objective truth, so imperfect content will still work as long as it uses the right buzz words.
• Amazing on some levels, for sure. Not a great interview yet though. Superficial phrases strung together. Soon enough, something profound, perhaps.
• This is absolutely insane. I clicked to listen for a few seconds, and could not turn it off through the whole thing. If this was truly #AIgenerated, it could change everything.
