Actor hired for disastrous Willy Wonka-style event says the bizarre script was '15 pages of AI-generated gibberish'

Feb 29, 2024 - businessinsider.com
A Willy Wonka-themed immersive event, "Willy's Chocolate Experience," in Glasgow, Scotland, was abruptly shut down due to its poor execution and bizarre script, which actors and attendees suspect was AI-generated. The event, which cost £35 ($44) per ticket, was described as an "absolute shambles," with police called to the scene after families demanded refunds. Actor Paul Connell, who played Willy Wonka, described the script as "15 pages of AI-generated gibberish," while other actors also expressed suspicions about the script's origin.

The event's website, still online, features similarly strange language, promising "catgacating," "exarserdray lollipops," and a "pasadise of sweet teats." Screenshots of the script shared online have led to further speculation about AI involvement. However, Business Insider could not independently verify whether the script was AI-generated. The event's organizers, House of Illuminati, have not responded to requests for comment.
