Presaged eerily in 1981 by Michael Crichton's terrible movie "Looker":
https://youtu.be/2IZfSr891bE https://youtu.be/2IZfSr891bE (warning, nudity)
Two additional scenes stand out:
1. The protagonist watches a prototype perfume commercial with eye-tracking glasses, and the computer ends up superimposing the closing logo over the part he watched the most often (this being 1981, I'm sure you can imagine...)
2. The implication that the computer can determine the 'perfect' poses and actions for optimal viewer response ("Not enough body twist according to the computer"), and the physical model having to contort herself to fit the ideal (you can see a few seconds of this at 0:39 in the trailer - https://youtu.be/yoT-r1slAZ4 https://youtu.be/yoT-r1slAZ4)
