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.

So I get a sprite battle between Santa Coke and Pepsi Man?
Pepsi Man Theme - Man on the Internet
PEPSIMAN Hear the cry of carbonation Echoing throughout the nation When the world needs hydration Salvation comes in a can!Jokes on them because there has to be a product that exists that’s for me in the first place to have AI generated ads for it.
It might be the future but it’s probably not very effective given how much lower quality the ads become as a result of AI.
The future is no ads.
I’ve been blocking ads for like 30 years. I see so little advertising I feel like an alien.
I wholeheartedly agree, all ads are cancer and should be removed before they spread.
I think the worst thing about them is they’re all kinda bad too. No, scratch that, the worst part is that they still work.
Isn’t it cool that we let companies commit psychological warfare against us?
Heck, the present is ublock origin!

In an geological scale of time, humanity will very soon cease to exist and this will be undisputed truth
Oh, I wish that were true, but things are not this certain.
I get a sense that people aren’t against easy to understand ads - as in, one company produces a concept, markets, publishes the ad, and delivers it to you on behalf of their client.
But people are not going to agree to reading that article, and consenting to 500 advertising partners to track you indefinitely to sell your data points.
All this technology, energy, and money that’s behind the surveillance economy, is the cost of turning you into the product.
What we the privacy concerned public would like to say is go make real products to help the world instead.
We really need to teach everyone to use ad blockers. Ads have not existed on “my” internet since the 2000s…
I’m always horrified if I’m on a browser without a blocker, the web just so much more distracting and intense.
Nowadays I’m even starting to find it annoying on a browser with adblock, but without NoScript ! Quite a bit of nonsense disappears when you take the few seconds to only enable the scripts a page actually needs
Also, YouTube specifically is a horrible experience without an extension like UnTrap to turn like 75% of the buttons off.
I’ve had some trouble setting up a pie-hole. It’s an imperfect system and something of a constant struggle between advertisers and ad-blockers.
If you’ve escaped every digital ad over the last 25 years, congrats. I’m reasonably tech savy, use adblockers where I can, and haven’t been remotely this fortunate.
I mean something simple as Ublock Origin/Adnauseum with Firefox or an appropriate fork would work well, I’d presume.
Definitely stems the tide, but it’s a long way from “never seen an ad in 25 years”
Well, fuck that.
show your true colors!
Goes to show their trike colors
We are liars, lying is all we do all day, every day, for money
Well thanks for letting me know!
I’m not against ads in principle. The advertisers are paying the bill for stuff I consume. Great.
For that effort, they get a chance at my wallet. And to be honest, making me aware of a business or product is indeed a way to get me interested in what they sell. I do prefer the ads to be relevant instead of always useless.
That being said, it’s currently preferable to use a blocker and let the people who don’t know how to use blockers subsidize my ad-free ways.
Agreed. I literally use an adblocker on youtube videos that are mostly 1 hour+ 80s/90s nostalgia ad compilations set to vaporwave lol
The issue is that advertizing used to have incentive to be compelling, interesting, memorable, or otherwise just leave you with a good feeling/association with the product they were trying to promote.
Now that every slop corporation is under the impression that they have your attention hostage, they feel justified in shoving literal 3-minute long reels of tiktok videos with MLM chicks screeching about how their makeup is “deadass rizz on god”. You can beat your ass it’s gonna be blocked from my screen lol
I have to say, minority report really did a good job portraying parts of the future.
Personalised my foot. When I browsed youtube logged into my google account all I got was generic TV ads for womens hair care products. I am a bald male.
Amazon recommended me a book by Charlie Kirk. I guess the algorithm hasn’t got me yet.
Charlie kirk can write?
Not any more.
Oh look, yet another reason to use an ad blocker.
Exactly
The world would be so much better if marketing and advertising were outright banned from the internet.
Not just the internet
