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.

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.

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.

Probably run some GSA algorithm to make a version of you that could be a long-lost half-sibling you inexplicably want to fuck
I surprised you think they will “never do this”. They will have some study done by an entity closely connected to an AI firm that affirms that “this makes products X amount more likely to sell!”
Whether it is true or not will be irrelevant. They will do it.

Paper books and comparable are now prohibited under the konzom act, your daily advertisement quota has been increased until morale improves or your mind breaks, whichever comes first.

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 don’t know. Maybe not. Last I worked with them they were still Hughes, but the ATT acquisition had been announced.
Fun story… it once took a bit over an hour to get from their building on Imperial Hwy to the passenger terminal at LAX, and you can see LAX out the uber window on the other side of the street the entire ride. Lol.

Who in their right mind would think this is a good idea? Are managers so caught up in the “just add AI bro it will make us cool” hype train that no one stops to think “yeah I would never want this in my living room”?

Seriously. If I notice the ad, I avoid the product. For example, ads for native and old spice are everywhere on YouTube and super obnoxious so when I need body wash and I hit the store, my fist reaction to seeing those brands is to recall the negative emotions I felt from the last time I had to interact with that brand. So they are spending money to get me to avoid their products.

I was taught none of that during my undergrad. Instead, i say that people who are greedy just happened to get business degrees as a tool to help them be greedy.
I’m fed up with the streaming services, so I’m getting back to my big pile of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.
I was randomly reminded of the “BD-Live” thing that I tried long ago. One of the most janky joyless things I had ever seen. Some marketing person had decided to do a marketing thing for movie promos and trailers and had forgotten that the thing was to be visited by actual people.
This sounds like it was cooked up by the same people. Looks like marketing people building a Thing.

How the fuck are they getting your face?
You are expected to volunteer your face. And interact with the ads. Because you are getting this device to watch ads. Apparently.
Bojack Horseman would look great as my face then.
Challenge accepted!
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive 😜.
Penis-face sure looks like he’s having a great time in that cold medicine ad!
They take pictures of you sleeping.
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

Existenz
Existenz. And “Long live the new flesh” is from another Cronenberg film called Videodrome.
Both are awesome.

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
If it means they will finally stop fucking voting then good deal all around!
We have zoomers for the nazi vote.
Sadly you might be right
does at&t still own direc tv?
I don’t know. Maybe not. Last I worked with them they were still Hughes, but the ATT acquisition had been announced.

OK so that’s the set we shouldn’t buy. OK noted.
TIL DirecTV is still around.
Nope, nope and nope.

Ads are much more likely to be effective on me if they have attractive people in them.
looking pretty gay in that pullover hoodie. thats why you need a bearskin hoodie that makes you look like a real man.
Seems like a real can / should problem to me.
Hard to believe this would entice anyone to purchase where a sexy lady couldn’t.
nope
I haven’t heard DirecTV mentioned in such a long time, I’m a little surprised it still exists
Good.
Anyone who’s paying for directv deserves all the bullshit coming towards them.
Stop wasting your money.
