Well, time to cancel finally I've gotten used to torrenting again anyway
There is no way this doesn’t wind up making an ad that's misleading enough to get Netflix and/or the advertiser in trouble
These ads will most definitely not be generated on-the-fly; too risky and too costly. They'll be pre-generated and pre-approved AI-generated videos.
Imagine a collection of videos like that AI Coca Cola commercial (but for a soon-to-be-cancelled Netflix series instead of a soda), with a dozen different versions of it made for each "user archetype" Netflix identifies. That's going to be how Netflix implements this.
Bye Netflix, hello plex.
Edit: hello Jellyfin, as helpful users have mentioned the enshitification of plex to me.
I have some bad news for you
Is there a way to poison the well so badly and so irrevocably that corporations won't dare use generative AI for anything? Can we somehow trick these overgrown chatbots to speak ill of their masters in the form of direct-to-stream advertisements?
Ask Musk. He managed to do it on accident.
I've cancelled my subscriptions to only subscribe to the platforms owned by our national broadcaster even if there's one of them I don't watch any shows on, fuck those American platforms.
The shittyfication goes forward...
And canceled my sub
Annnnd goodbye Netflix subscription
Eventually they will start making shows based on the user watching the show.
Please see Black Mirror, Series 6, Episode 1, "Joan Is Awful"
I dunno at some point I’m just gonna stop watching tv and find other ways to entertain myself.
Netflix can fuck right off as I cancel my subscription and board the Jolly Roger
Not to me, they fucking won't
Netflix doing their best to lose whatever customers they have left rofl
