"Joe Rogan absolutely loves AI-generated music. For the past few months, the podcaster has been drooling like a pig at its slop trough over AI-generated covers of the rapper 50 Cent, finding literally any excuse to play them for his guests, including such luminaries as Carrot Top and Andrew Schulz. It's gotten so out of his hand that his some of his fans have started fuming about how he keeps bring the AI covers up."
"You gotta hear this," Rogan said on one occasion. "It's f*cking good dude," he said on another. It's the kind of enthusiastic endorsement you might hear from a friend who's showing you a "super underrated" band that "nobody knows about" yet, but Rogan is giving it for AI slop. Most of the time, the guests nod along or even share some of Rogan's enthusiasm, but not all of them."
"First, Rogan half jokingly suggested that AI could make better music than humans, and Sackhoff wasn't having any of it. "Stop it. It will never be better if AI makes the music," the "Battlestar Galactica" and "Longmire" actress said. "You just broke my soul." "AI is making some really good music," Rogan wheedled. Sackhoff grinned. "It's also making some great podcasts," she countered. Rogan's rambling stopped dead in its tracks."
Joe Rogan frequently plays AI-generated covers of 50 Cent on his podcast and enthusiastically promotes them to guests, including Carrot Top and Andrew Schulz. Repeated plays have prompted frustration among some fans. Actress Katee Sackhoff pushed back when Rogan suggested AI could make better music than humans, saying, "Stop it. It will never be better if AI makes the music." Rogan insisted AI makes good music, but Sackhoff countered with a quip about AI making great podcasts, causing Rogan to display sudden skepticism before changing the topic. Rogan continued to share AI tracks with guests despite the pushback.
