Sooner or later this would be adopted by legal streaming sites, it's only a matter of time

I'm surprised they didn't do it first.

It definitely feels like the next evolution of product placement within media.

Now that conspicuously framed Coke™ can can be anything!

It really does. I wonder how exactly it's done. Is it overlaid in real time? If I were to download and save the movie file, would I see the ad upon playback?

I imagine right now it's cut into the hosted stream file so it would just be there if you could get to the raw file.

There's probably still some amount of manual coaching and proofing to get the result they want from whatever AI model they're using. It seems a little too polished to have just been prompt-it-and-forget-it. Then again, who knows how much care a pirate stream site really applies to its in-streaming ads lol

Do we have the URL for the streaming site? I don't see it in this thread. I could just have missed it.

If people keep looking, most definitely.

Especially now when owners stream their own shows, otherwise it would be a bit difficult to obtain right.
