Cops Called to 'Willy Wonka Experience' as Crying Children Realize AI Ads Were Lies

Feb 27, 2024 - gizmodo.com
The "Willy’s Chocolate Experience In Glasgow, Scotland", organized by House of Illuminati, turned out to be a disappointment for hundreds of families who were promised an immersive experience based on the Timothée Chalamet _Wonka_ reboot. The event, which was advertised using AI renderings of fantastical scenes, ended up being a sparsely decorated warehouse, with families greeted by a gutted factory with dirty windows, a few plastic candy canes, and struggling actors playing Oompa Loompas.

Customers, including Stuart Sinclair who drove two hours to attend the event with his children, complained about the lack of entertainment and described the experience as an "absolute con". House of Illuminati, which charged up to £35 (about $45) for tickets, reportedly offered 850 customers full refunds and cancelled the event just a day in.
