The thing that stops it is, ironically, personal agents. Get one to interact with the ad-driven one if you need to and filter ads out.

Only if CPM can be high enough to counter balance the inference costs.
Current CPM is between $30 and $60 which is x20 to x30 more expensive than alternatives.
Now we have to wait and see if performance is also at least 30x of previous ad targeting.
