I highly recommend checking out the website while it's still up https://willyschocolateexperience.com/

They didn't even bother to fix the fucked-up text on the AI-generated images. It's amazing. I can't wait to experience the dodjection and ukxepcted twits

What you don't want to go catgacating?

I've never booked any event or experience in a fixed venue that doesn't show actual photos of said venue. Booking or travelling long distances because of this ai generated nonsense is alarming.

Do people not read anymore? Do people not know AI generated imagery at all when they see it?

What can I expect from Willys chocolate experience? Step into the magical realm of Willy's Chocolate Experience, a universe where confectionary dreams are brought to life! Explore an array of themed rooms like the Enchanted Garden and the Vision Room and Lemonade Gallery, each offering unique and delightful surprises. Not only will you witness the magic of chocolate, but you'll also have the chance to taste it! Prepare for a journey filled with delicious treats, enchanting adventures, and moments worth capturing. Be sure to get your tickets for this extraordinary experience!

It sounds like a phishing scam. Everything is so incredibly vague. What is an "enchanted garden"? what's in it? What do you do there? Fuck you, pay us to find out.

Speaking to my pal today who is an aspiring standup and also does work as an extra for tv shows. He's just told me someone in his group chat was hired to play Wonka and had been given a 12 page script to learn which was also AI generated.

Edit: he's talking to the media now

Edit 2: and now he's been me too'd. Former drama student of his is accusing him of sexual impropriety. Could this story get any more nuts?
