Ads are ads, who cares if it's AI generated?
Great point.
You gotta remember, this generation of idiots actually enjoys watching ads. Every year they gather around to watch the most egregiously expensive ads and debate which one is the 'best' while children starve.
Damn you fucking here hard boy
Amen!
at least with human made ads, people got paid for their work.
At least with hand weaving, people got paid for their work.
You realise your statement could have been made about literally any labour saving invention in human history?
Counter argument: advertisement is shit, except it is less than shit because shit can fertilize a field. It is neither improved nor depreciated by human involvement. Every moment of human effort expended in producing advertising could be better spent on anything else.
They are substantially cheaper to make and therefore have a greater profit margin because they can charge more for the advertising space.
These types of comments from companies are for investors and not a warning to consumers of what is coming.
My point was, fuck Netflix for their shitty business practices anyway. Ads are bad, AI ads aren't any better or worse.
