Fake Joe Rogan interviews fake Steve Jobs

Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about....

Play.ht, a voice synthesis company based in Dubai has published a fictional podcast where an AI version of comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan interviews Apple’s founder Steve Jobs.

The podcast uses realistic voices digitally cloned from both and is the first episode in a series called ‘Podcast.ai’, a weekly podcast entirely generated by artificial intelligence.

Play.ht is an AI-powered text to voice generation tool that enables users to ‘instantly convert text into natural-sounding speech’.

The podcast seems to be a promotion for the tool as the episodes are rendered using play.ht and transcripts are generated with fine-tuned language models.

Podcasters like Rogan are ideal targets for AI voice training using deep learning models thanks to the ample quantities of their voice available publicly.

Jobs' voice is less available was trained Jobs’ Apple keynote speeches and other interviews and so tends to say the same vacuous and self-serving rubbish that has been the erotic fantasy of fanbois for decades.
