Apparently this was sold as a live Willy Wonka Experience but they used all AI images on the website to sell tickets and then people showed up and saw this and it got so bad people called the cops lmao

      And that is the problem with AI. People don't know what it is or what it does and assume it is basically magic. Con artists and grifters love shit like that, it's really easy to trick people with empty promises when they have no clue what the technology is actually capable of. And it doesn't help that a lot of the techbro types practically worship AI as the second coming of Jesus, only adding to the confusion about the very real limitations of the technology.

      AI is just a reflection of human input and output. Everything ai generates isn't truly original. It's just a summary of our thoughts, desires, and feelings.

      AI is really only good for automation, it can't and will never produce art.

        Haha, wow, I sure am glad I'm nothing like that. My artistic inspiration definitely isn't the sum total of my life experiences and things I've seen in other media 😅
