Edit: let’s assume this becomes possible in a century. Easy solution: a verification system that ensures that the official Joe Rogan Show is authenticated by the real Joe Rogan. No one will care about a computer copy version.


There's already an AI generated, fake episode of Rogan's show: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=meu0CoYv3z8


But the real question is how does it compare to the real one, do people listen to it at the same level and for the same amount of time (no). It’s neat, and I work in ML/AI, but it’s missing depth, coherency, and in some way an actual window into the real world.

Natural language generation as well
