I recently setup my own Jellyfin server with qbittorent search plug-ins and its so easy. Netflix is really playing with fire here cause people will leave when pushed enough as it's becoming so easy to switch. You can just hop on your friends server too

There is no way this doesnโt 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.

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...
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.

And canceled my sub
Annnnd goodbye Netflix subscription
I can't tell from the article what the AI side of this is? Are Netflix offering to make adverts for customslrs using AI? Are they just showing adverts in general from customers, including AI generated ones?
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've read the article twice and still don't know ๐

Eventually they will start making shows based on the user watching the show.
Please see Black Mirror, Series 6, Episode 1, "Joan Is Awful"
