Here’s my two cents: This is exactly the kind of development that makes me grateful for mindful tech alternatives. When companies start using generative AI to personalize ads at scale, it’s no longer just about selling a product, it’s all about capturing attention in increasingly invasive ways- which I REALLY don’t like.
I posted a thread a while back about the new SAMSUNG TV:
The idea of AI tailoring ads based on micro-data feels like the final step toward total algorithmic manipulation of our time and thoughts. Even if we technically have the choice to opt out, the infrastructure around us is designed to pull us back in.
