It's 2023. My ChatGPT based AI agent will continue calling and deliver persuasive Haiku poems requesting a discount on my package. It will persist until it achieves it's desired goal...

I assume the Netflix AI team will develop an agent that convinces your AI to agree to a more expensive plan. They are known for their technical excellence afterall.

They just laid off their technical excellence would you settle for the overworked, fearful group that remains?

More like, if you cancel, your account gets deleted for good, so you lose your profile with users, history, recommendations. You can pay x/month to pause your membership.

Come on, we all know deleting your data would be a premium-only feature.

Netflix recommendations are useless, so this sounds like a win to me. Random is more interesting then "let us fail at understanding you based on limited demographics".

I’d seriously consider paying them a fee for that! I certainly hope they go in that direction.

Netflix already deletes your account after 10 months, probably for this specific purpose.

Is that a new policy? I’ve had Netflix off and on since 2008 (for DVD rentals) and still have info from them. I’m pretty sure we’ve been gone for longer than 10-month windows.

FTC is enforcing against companies that do this. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2021/10/...

> You’ll have to call Netflix to cancel and they’ll just pass you around the call Center until they hang up by accident.

Nonsense. Cancelling is easy: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/407
