Pretty far off, but this concept scares the hell out of me.

Then there's an awkward moment where it confesses its original intent but that it has since realized the error of its ways. It's like a SciFi Romantic Comedy.

- amelius 11y agoHow would that work on social media? Is FB allowed to change people's messages to contain ads? I don't think so. And I don't think this will ever happen. Also, I don't believe that ads will ever be merged with the content in an indistinguishable way. Authors (at least ones that take themselves seriously) would never allow that.
