The world of Artificial Intelligence has always been a thing of concern for modern-day society. The possibilities of using the fairly new technology have boggled the minds of many, including renowned podcaster and comedian, Joe Rogan. The 55-year-old has been at the receiving end of digitally generated yet hilarious conversations using his voice.
Recently, a YouTube channel named “The Joe Rogan AI Experience” appeared out of nowhere on the platform. As the channel name suggests, the show setup resembles that of the actual “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, with famous personalities guesting on the episodes. The show starts with a disclaimer to remind the listeners that every word of the episode has been generated using AI, specifically ChatGPT.
The third and most recent episode features controversial personality, Andrew Tate as the guest. In the 43-minute podcast, the two indulge in a series of subjects, including his fictional prison fights while he was in Romanian custody earlier this year.
A fictional Joe asks Andrew if he fought anyone in prison. To which, Tate replies, “You know I tried to stay out of trouble as much as possible. You know, I knew I had to keep my head down and focus on getting through it.”
Tate’s digitally generated voice continued, “But, yeah, there were a few incidents where things got heated and I had to stand my ground. You can’t show any weakness in a place like that.”
Joe then proceeds to ask the 36-year-old if his fighting abilities came in handy while in jail. Tate responded, “Absolutely. Knowing how to fight and having the discipline that comes with martial arts training definitely helped me. I didn’t go looking for trouble but if it came my way, I was ready to handle it.”
Joe Rogan has reacted to his AI-generated podcasts
Podcasts like these have been solely generated for entertainment purposes, whilst showcasing how far the technology has evolved. The above channel became so popular that even Joe retweeted it while showing anxiousness in doing so. The UFC commentator captioned his post with – “This is going to get very slippery, kids.”

However, it isn’t the first time that someone has used Rogan’s digitally generated voice to mimic his podcast episodes. In 2019, Joe took to Instagram to voice his concern for how terrifyingly accurately a Canada-based startup generated his voice using the digital medium.
Andrew Tate will remain under house arrest until May 29
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan continue to be the talk of the town, especially since their detainment in late December last year. Romanian officials arrested the duo on suspicions of human trafficking, organized crime, and r*pe in late 2022. Having spent over 90 days in jail, the authorities eventually released the Tate brothers before moving them to house arrest.
Recently, a Romanian court extended their house arrest for another 30 days. This means that Andrew and Tristan cannot leave the buildings they live in unless they have judicial permission to do so. Along with the brothers, their two associates Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu were also moved into house arrest. However, it is unclear whether the two women received an extension as well.

It is still unknown what the Tate brothers’ schedule looks like post their custody release. But what’s noteworthy is that the two haven’t stopped making their presence felt on Twitter. Recently, Romanian police seized Andrew’s $5.2 million Bugatti, to which the British-American responded by purchasing 10 new Bugattis.
Until Andrew releases his much-anticipated podcast after his prison release, fans will have to tune in to the digitally generated versions of Tate like the above one.
