AI personalization crosses the line when customers can't understand why they're receiving specific treatments.

The conversation covers dynamic billboard targeting, spectrum-based personalization approaches, and avoiding the "mad libs of data" trap that makes AI-driven outreach feel invasive rather than helpful.
