'Many Jobs Are Going To Be Useless,' Says Joe Rogan – 'We Are Literally Giving Birth To Our Successor'

In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, host Joe Rogan sat down with writer and stand-up comedian Bridget Phetasy to discuss many things, including the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on jobs.

When his guest asked, “Do you think Hollywood … with AI … stands a chance?” Rogan answered, “Yeah, it’ll make awesome movies. They’re still going to make movies, but they’re going to make movies entirely on a computer. The people that are going to be f*cked are the actors and the writers. They’re f*cked. And then the animators, they’re f*cked … everybody’s f*cked. All these special effects houses … yeah, everybody.”

He added that “there’s not a chance in hell” that they survive and stressed that “so many jobs are going to be useless. We are literally giving birth to our successor.”

When Phetasy asked whether Rogan used AI, Rogan said, “Zero.” He mentioned that his phone, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, has some cool AI features, such as website summarization and note transcription. However, even though he acknowledged the usefulness of these features, particularly for transcription, his overall tone was one of caution and curiosity about the broader implications of AI.

The conversation also touched on the issue of information curation by AI and search engines. Rogan shared his experiences with different search engines, noting how some, like Google, seem to curate results in a way that can be frustrating for users seeking certain information. He mentioned using alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo but expressed disappointment that even these options seem compromised or less effective than they once were.

Brave has a search engine that I think is with no algorithm … I don’t think it’s curated. I think there’s a few other ones that you can go to that are like small … They’re all tied into the same thing, right? They’re all tied into this great database in the world. I just don’t know … what’s happening behind the scenes,” the podcaster explained.

Rogan’s doubts about technology went beyond just AI. He talked about big tech companies like Meta (formerly Facebook) and wondered how much control people like Mark Zuckerberg really have over their companies, asking, “How much of a say do you really think Zuckerberg has over the entire business of Meta, right? Yeah, he’s the owner, the CEO, the big dog, but he’s also one human being.”

He pointed out that advertiser money influences what content gets shown and how users experience these platforms, saying, “I mean, he’s not there every day. For sure, people are getting shadow-banned, and it’s not like he’s behind the scenes pulling the triggers. It’s a company and it’s a giant, huge company that is like all these companies heavily influenced by advertiser dollars.”

We have seen how AI is already significantly reshaping the job market by automating routine tasks, creating new roles, and demanding new skill sets. Still, even though some worry about losing jobs, many think learning AI skills will help their careers.
