Nope, nope and nope.
I hate what humanity chose to do with its “God given” gifts.
TIL DirecTV is still around.
That’s creepy as fuck and would guarantee I never buy that product.
These remaining DirecTV subscribers are gonna be pissed when AT&T swaps out the dial-tone on their landline for an ad stream.
Most of them are probably boomers and will be dead soon, anyway
OK so that’s the set we shouldn’t buy. OK noted.
I can’t wait for this shit to become so pervasive that I only read paper books.
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.
Hahaha, that’s not dystopian at all, hahahaha.
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,
Death to AI, death to capitalism
Death to allegra geller! Death to existenz!
Long live the new flesh
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
You say that as if it’s a bad thing
How the fuck are they getting your face?
DirecTV’s screensavers will let a user create an AI avatar of themself by scanning a QR code on the screensaver
You are expected to volunteer your face. And interact with the ads. Because you are getting this device to watch ads. Apparently.
Challenge accepted!
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive 😜.
Bojack Horseman would look great as my face then.
Haha you probably think those things in your yard are birds
Makes sence that the birds aren’t working at the moment since the government is shutdown
Well the US gov birds aren’t working
They take pictures of you sleeping.
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.
