    These remaining DirecTV subscribers are gonna be pissed when AT&T swaps out the dial-tone on their landline for an ad stream.

    Humanity could do many great things in this world with AI. Instead we are coming up with innovative new ways to give you ads. Get me out of this timeline.

    Ok grandpa, turn off the DirectTV and power down your AM radio. Using a technology that old is guaranteed to land you deep in enshittification-land.

    I’ve been watching Jellyfin for a while and I have not seen the first ad,

    I have generated videos with me in them and it’s a very weird feeling. Actually getting surprised by them in an ad would be brutally unpleasant. They will never do this.

    That being said, they will absolutely put people that reassemble us. So personalized ad with someone that has the same hair color, skin color, height, facial structure and age, wearing about the same kind of clothes we usually do.

      reassemble

      I’m sure that was autocorrect, but it feels awfully portentous.

      Probably run some GSA algorithm to make a version of you that could be a long-lost half-sibling you inexplicably want to fuck

    Not my face. I‘m staying far away from those things. I wonder if generating personalized ads can even be profitable. Seems like a lot of effort to dish out some slop.

      It probably depends on how personalized the ads are. It should come as no surprise that targeted ads have been a thing as long as ads have existed. Coke ads during family shows, alcohol ads (you’ll be cool if you use our product) on MTV, etc.

      There are already a number of algorithms to deliver one ad for a product over another, based on likely demographics. Streaming has greatly increased this, since specific demographic details are immediately and directly available when the ad is shown. I won’t get the same as on Hulu that you get.

      As for generating ads on-the-fly, that seems unlikely. Few ads are fully generated at all, let alone in response to demographics or the specific viewer(s).

      There are also risks when deploying ads without vetting. Some of these viewers will be dressed as Nazis, and will happily share the video to everyone.
