CTP (S3E138) AI Ads, Not Slop
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond   
We push back on “slop” as the word of the year and make the case that AI can fix ads, not ruin them. By refreshing commercials weekly and paying actors through fair likeness rights, we trade repetition for relevance and give viewers a break - in this prior CTP video exclusive now full release.
• why “slop” resonates with audiences tired of repetitive ads
• how AI can generate weekly ad variations without raising media costs
• likeness rights for actors and ethical digital doubles
• operational flow for automated Monday updates across networks
• keeping a few classics while reducing fatigue with fresh creative
• quality controls that prevent AI from producing low-value content

Hello, welcome to another episode of 32 Thomas Podcast. I am your host, Joseph and Wonder. That's L-E-N-A-R-T at the front. It's not an O. Thank you for tuning in. As Brandon used to say on his show, let's get on with the show. Hello, gang. How are you doing? This is a cheat segment. I am recording this as a lead-in to a standard Saturday show that is going to uh now air through the audio platforms 25 plus of Christitutionalist Podcast. What was formerly a CTP video exclusive that I feel needs to go out as a regular show. So bear that in mind when recorded, it was a video exclusive. So uh the dates it could be from a month ago, it could be from a couple months ago, so bear that in mind when you hear things regarding time frames, it may be from a while ago, so particular references may be a little dated. And this segment of cheat, right? I'm recording it, I'll be using it with several video exclusives turned Saturday episodes. Without further ado, let's get on with the show! Hello everyone, welcome to video exclusive for December 2025, number seven. I want to talk to you the Marion Webster 2025 Word of the Year Slop. Now, digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence. Why did I want to mention that? Well, most it's it's a matter of perspective, and of course I recently dropped a video on perspective. Please check that out on my video channels. But it's a matter of opinion what one considers slop, in this case, low quality or substance. So that's open to interpretation and personal opinion. But what caught my eye on that as a former IT guy and having had shows on and been on other shows as a guest talking about AI, I did, I don't remember if as part of a video exclusive or part of an actual show on AI, either my own or as a guest, I mentioned something I'd like to see from AI is TV ads. How many of us are sick and tired? And I know modern DVRs help allow us to hit the skip button and skip past commercials if we've recorded something, and certain DVRs with certain content even allows you to automatically have it skip past the commercial segments for like some regular network TV shows. I've made use of that, that's helpful, but still, in general, TV ads are annoying. This could change. Let me take, for example, progressive insurance. It's diehard season again. Please see that video, Bruce, about the movie Die Hard as a Christmas movie, because the writers said they intended it to be and the way they filmed it. Bruce Willis. There was talk, I don't know that it ever happened, him signing a contract for likeness use beyond his acting ability years. Well, with his dementia now and his health deteriorated, he can't be in a movie, but there was talk of him, like there is the Tilly Norwood, if you recall the movie with Susan Day Looker from 1980, way before its time, talking about these times coming, digitizing an actor or actress to be able to put in TV at. That's what I'm talking about here, where I'm getting, but they still use physical sex. Then the Al Pacino movie came along, Simone or Sim1. The I and Simone is a one, and the O in Simone is a zero, so pronounce it Simone or Sim One, whichever way you want, which was kind of an update of the movie Looker. And here we are today with Tilly Norwood, the AI actress, who they can and have put into movies, but they could do whole commercials with AI. Take flow of progressive, just by way of example, sign that actress to a digital images rights contract so that every time her image appears, she she gets a few pennies, which would add up still to countless millions for her, or something, uh or a one-time flat fee for her digital rights images for use in progressive commercials as flow. Something. She would then not have to work for that money anymore. See Looker, the movie, please. Albert Finney, Susan Day, uh Coburn, James Coburn. Great film, highly recommend it, and then Simone as a follow-up to that, and then see my the Forge News piece on Tilly Norwood to fully come up to speed on this. But the flow actress and maybe another couple of that advertising series, and then once secured their use for digital rights, and who doesn't sign? Work them out of the commercials, introduce new characters, fully AI digital, put Tilly Norwood in the progressive commercials. But my point being TV ads or ads in general, like movie theater ads, whatever, whatever, whatever, radio ads could also be very more easily digitized by AI because there's no video needing to be rendered, but turn AI loose on ads, is my point, as I've discussed before. AI can churn out a new ad every week. So we're only have the same ad repeated for a week. It wouldn't cost them any more with the network or the radio stations to run a new era. New a new era, run a new ad that just provide the new digital content on Monday for running through Tuesday through Sunday, Tuesday through the next Monday, and then the next Monday, they would get a new digital ad. Vince repeat, a new ad every week created by AI. So we don't have the same damn ads over and over and over four, six months or a full year at a time. Now I get it, there's sometimes a greatest hit, an ad that becomes beloved and enjoyed. Repeat those on occasion. No problem. Special runs for those. But the average ad slots that are there, that we keep getting the same damn ads from the same damn companies. There is no need for that in this AI age. That is where AI can be useful. Give us new ads. Stop boring us to death. Stop inundating us with the same garbage, the same slop. Back to the top, the Miriam Webster 2025 word of the year. Slop. Noun, digital content of low quality, and I dare say low substance, low value, irritating us over and over with the same garbage that is produced, usually in quantity, by means of artificial intelligence. So hopefully I wrapped that all in a nice bow. Yes, Christmas pun intended, bum bum. I you I can't help myself with the lame puns. You should know that by now. But yeah, slop. Commercials to me, even not produced by AI, are slop. AI could produce them easily, and we don't have to watch the same garbage content over and over and over again. And then maybe we'll be less concerned about using the skip button and just skipping past your garbage commercials. It would be a win-win. The actors and actresses can sign a likeness contract, they don't have to bother to show up to be in the commercials, but yet get paid. You get fresh new content, we get fresh new content. It's a minor inconvenience to the TV stations. Not even then, because all that can be automated by AI. Hey, this day, every Monday, 1 p.m. Eastern time, progressive or whomever, just progressive insurance by way of example here, because I'm constantly seeing the flow ads. The latest one where she's a llama, it's just how her voice, right? It's a lion tailgating a sheep or whatever. Whatever, whatever, whatever. So just them by way of recent example that I've seen that's irritating me to death. We could get a new commercial every week. Stop annoying us. Automatically update every Monday, 1 p.m. Easter time. Pull the new commercial, slot it in where the progressives have already prepaid to be. Run it next Monday, do it again. Next Monday, do it again. This is simple stuff. Simple stuff. But why don't we get it? We never get the easy, simple, common sense stuff. I'm begging you all, please do something that people will then be less annoyed. Anyway, take care. God bless. Love you all.
