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.

Arguably the grandfather of Ads online and the "oh we should also be doing that" ads company masquerading as an OS and cloud provider.
