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 doesnโ€™t wind up making an ad that's misleading enough to get Netflix and/or the advertiser in trouble

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.

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.

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 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚
