The next generation of "smart" TVs, that nobody asked for:

"LG TVs will soon leverage an AI model built for showing advertisements that more closely align with viewers' personal beliefs and emotions. The company plans to incorporate a partner company’s AI tech into its TV software in order to interpret psychological factors impacting a viewer, such as personal interests, personality traits, and lifestyle choices. The aim is to show LG webOS users ads that will emotionally impact them."

It seems certain brands do all this unnecessary shite. I have a couple of Philips Ambilights and get none of the silly nonsense you seem to get with other smart TVs (ads and the like).

Black mirror isn't dystopian, it's real life, exhibit A (ref: s7 ep 1)
