“Hollywood’s dead” – Joe Rogan passes verdict on the rise of AI 

According to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, the American film industry is no longer thriving due to the influence of social media and artificial intelligence.

The renowned UFC commentator gained widespread recognition for his role as the host of the immensely popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), which is only accessible on Spotify. The show’s wide range of guests, including fighters, artists, scientists, politicians, and fitness experts, has contributed to its growing popularity among audiences.

During a recent segment of JRE, Rogan and stand-up comedian/actor Donnell Rawlings discussed the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the entertainment world. They highlighted the significant number of unemployed performers for several months due to safety measures, as well as the potential rise of artificial intelligence in the industry.

During their conversation, they also touched upon filmmaker Tyler Perry’s recent revelation that he had to delay an $800 million studio expansion upon discovering OpenAI’s Sora, an AI model that can produce videos from written instructions. However, the quality of the videos produced varies depending on the availability of the subject matter.

As stated by Rogan, the rise of AI and the pandemic has led to a shift in the entertainment industry, with content creators on social media replacing traditional comedians in sitcoms and comic films. He stated:

”Oh, Hollywood’s dead. No, no, no, no. For real, though. Hollywood’s dead.”

The Implications of Joe Rogan’s Warning on Artificial Intelligence

The Joe Rogan AI Experience is a YouTube channel that produces podcasts featuring Joe Rogan alongside notable guests like Andrew Tate and Donald Trump, all generated by ChatGPT.

Last year, the UFC color commentator learned about a video featuring OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The video included a disclaimer at the beginning.

”Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the very first episode of the Joe Rogan AI Experience. I’m your host Joe Rogan, or atleast that’s what this AI model thinks I sound like. Let me tell you folks, this is some next-level stuff we’ve got going on here today. Every single word of this podcast has been generated with the help of ChatGPT…I am not the real Rogan.”
