Parents Outraged Over Elaborate Yet Disappointing 'Willy Wonka' Event Created with AI
-
Organizers created a fake "Willy Wonka Experience" in Scotland using AI-generated marketing that duped parents and kids.
-
The event took place in a dirty warehouse with cheap props and actors were given nonsensical, AI-generated scripts to perform.
-
Scripts promised imaginaryinteractions with things like laughing grass and bubble machines that didn't exist.
-
The event made kids cry and parents call the police; one actor went viral as "Meth Lab Oompa Loompa."
-
The event organizer, Billy Coull, self-published likely AI-generated books and now seems to have scrubbed his online presence after the backlash.
