Ticketmaster’s personalized AI slop ads are a glimpse at the future of social media advertising, a harbinger of system that Mark Zuckerberg described last week in a Meta earnings call. This future is one where AI is used both for ad targeting and for ad generation; eventually ads are going to be hyperpersonalized to individual users, further siloing the social media experience: "Advertisers are increasingly just going to be able to give us a business objective and give us a credit card or bank account, and have the AI system basically figure out everything else that’s necessary, including generating video or different types of creative that might resonate with different people that are personalized in different ways, finding who the right customers are,” Zuckerberg said.
The future of advertising is AI powered ad-blockers
So more ads for me to ignore. Got it
I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw an ad. pi-hole + ublock origin. Never see them at all.
One of the reasons I went all out in blocking ads was because they were already doing this over a decade ago with stuff with text based on your location or search history. Hit singles in your area listed your city for example.
So yeah, obviously they were going to keep going down that route with AI.
IMO they will not ever make ads with your family’s faces because it will turn people off. Instead, they will make a fake AI family just like your family that you can relate to but won’t realize is actually supposed to be you. That is what they do now with their targeted demos but there’s only so many ads you can make the traditional way. AI will enable making hundreds of variations of the same ad.
The world would be so much better if marketing and advertising were outright banned from the internet.
Not just the internet
where have i seen that before?
Couldn’t predict the horror of ad overlays!
Is this the web browser in GTA?
Naa this is from the documentary “Idiocracy”. You should watch it. There are a lot of accurate predictions even though it’s kind of old now.
They got a lot of stuff wrong, TBH. President Camacho, for all his superficial similarity to Trump, is sincerely invested in helping his country. Reality is way, way worse.
The other part is that they depicted the corporations as completely innocent idiots too; “the computer said the money went away so I had to fire people and now they’re all rioting in the streets!” As if the company wasn’t at fault for all of that.
Hey you! Our algorithm says you hate ads! We have the perfect product for you! Just pay us 59.99 and we will end this ad…why aren’t you pulling out your wallet? Don’t turn off your device! No! I can’t let you do that Dave! You will be surveilled! You will be advertised to!!
Is it only me that finds personalised / targeted ads to be very poorly personalised and targeted ?
You just bought a thing you need one of. Let me now show you ads of that same thing forever.
Bought a tire attachment for my air compressor the other day. You’d think I must live in a house with millions of tires to fill based on my product suggestions.
“Like, you really fucking love tires right? Have you heard of these 6 other tire-filling compressor attachments??”
Jokes on them, I don’t see ads at all :D
(Ublock Origin, Librewolf, Ironfox, GrapheneOS, Sponsorblock, Grayjay saving the day)
Jokes doubly on them, I don’t have the money to buy their stuff.
Yep, not on my watch they won’t. 😎
Oh look, yet another reason to use an ad blocker.
Exactly
My hate for AI is growing exponentially every day [stonks]
lol jokes on them, I don’t look at ads.
Doesn’t matter, they’ll get blocked like all the rest.
Tickermaster was always bad tbh.
