Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026

Hate to see it but… it makes sense.

It’s wrong, sure, in many ways (privacy, ecology, ethically depending on the dataset) but if there is 1 application where generative AI ads would make sense is through a personalized stream. So… yes it’s bad, consumers might reject it, but it’s not the actually dumbest way to use a terrible technology.

To be clear, again, I 100% hate it but if I was a greedy Netflix stakeholder I’d think “Hmmm yes, maybe!”.
