"Even something like product placement."

Only if you let it, if you control the AI at your viewing end then you have ultimate control. AI will be able to say change a product placement Coca-Cola can for a no-names brand of a different color.

You need never know it was Coca-Cola as AI could change this randomly so you'd be hard pushed to even guess the original brand.

Seems to me that unless they're unusually dumb (which I doubt) I reckon ad industry executives must be already worrying about such developments.

I think this take is far too optimistic, if anything ad industry executives are entirely thinking the opposite or have you forgotten the current frontrunners of AI are Google and Microsoft. Arguably the grandfather of Ads online and the "oh we should also be doing that" ads company masquerading as an OS and cloud provider.
Thanks, now I'll be thinking about Brawndo for the rest of the day.
