Someday, somebody might use “AI” to simulate the viewing of ads, and since AI might perfectly simulate viewing an ad, but will not spend money as a result, the whole ad economy will collapse.

It won't change much because the majority of views are already bots. People will still pay, even more, for the small % that are real.
So what you're basically saying is, we need AI-AdNauseam as quickly as possible.

Thank you for the idea.

Considering how many free offerings there are, this might actually just work.

You're my hero (gets to work diligently on this)
Ads industry is already way way overvalued.
