This is just plain false. At best ads will inform you about the existence of valuable products, services and opportunities that can make your life better. Every business must communicate with potential customers.
Personalized ads are much more likely to be something you might want than the generic billboard on the side of the road.

Businesses can communicate in ways that are not advertising.
Ads are not trying to inform. They virtually universally make claims that are pushed as far as possible without breaking false advertising laws. Ads never ever state limitations, for example - even though any honest information would.
