Goes Viral

Because of how authentic it sounded, an AI-generated podcast called "Joe Rogan interviews Steve Jobs" became popular a few weeks ago.

Problems with celebrities

Legally, celebrities have a “right of publicity” which prohibits unauthorized use of their name, photo, likeness, and voice. But a paraody can be a way to get around it  

The Plan 

Eric Borgos, the creator, explains his plans for more than 100 automated shows and submit them instantly using Buzzsprout. The title, artwork, photos, and content are generated by his code.

Inspiration

Borgos was inspired by Podbot.ai, but his version is more automated because it comes up with the Podcast episode title on its own

Initially 

Borgos initially decided to train an ML model on blog posting titles. So he put 100,000 blog posting titles into open-source aitextgen for it to learn to write good ones, but that turned out bad

But then...

Borgos then tried the NLPCloud.com Text Generation API which uses GPT-J (similar to GPT-3). and it turned out fine
