Willy Wonka Experience’s AI-fueled promises were pure imagination.
Police were called to the scene of “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, Scotland, as children burst into tears when the “immersive experience” promised in AI advertisements turned out to be a sparsely decorated warehouse.
House of Illuminati, the organization behind the event, reportedly charged up to £35 for tickets (about $45) for an afternoon of activities based on the Timothée Chalamet Wonka reboot. The event was promoted with AI renderings full of lollipop forests, jellybean waterfalls, flying horses, giant mushrooms, and other fantastical, larger-than-life scenes, promising “a place where chocolate dreams become reality.”

When hundreds of parents arrived with their families, they were greeted by a gutted factory with dirty windows and exposed air conditioning systems, a couple of plastic candy canes, and other rented props strewn about on bare concrete floors.
