Wait what? Companies are absolutely doing this at scale, they're just laundering it through third-party content providers, who get seen or not seen based on what the user has lingered on in the past. If you haven't seen your relatives' Facebook feeds lately, they're close to 100% LLM-generated slop, which gradually gets tuned to the specific user based on what their eyeballs have lingered on in the past. TikTok isn't quite there yet but is trending in the same direction.
So it's platform partners plus filtered selection putting the tuned dopamine poison in front of people for the moment, but it's absolutely happening. And eventually the platform owners can and will cut out the middlemen.
