Some more fun facts:

The tickets costed 40£ each

Not just the promotional images, but also the scripts for the actors were AI generated

The AI also created a whole new character called the unnamed (Edit: unknown, not unnamed), a shadowy chocolate-maker who became evil and lives inside the walls

Edit: Also they didn’t have any chocolate and each guest only got a single jelly bean and a 6cl shot of lemonade

I actually wanted to post that character, but I wasn't sure anyone would know what it was. It's so bizarre.

Genuinely, The Unnamed is still a more logical extension of the Willy Wonka lore than the actual sequel book, which involves a plot by shapeshifting aliens to take over a space hotel, Willy Wonka being declared an enemy of the state by the president of the US, and confectionery that can alter time itself.

They are making a horror movie about the unnamed I read somewhere

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav 10 points 1 year ago

Bound to be a masterpiece!

I think the evil chocolate maker that lives in the walls was called The Unknown

My mistake

BBC tracked down the guy behind it and found that he had 17 self-published books on Amazon. According to the reviews they’re total nonsense that’s clearly written by AI.

[-] jlow@beehaw.org 17 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there are some nice articles from the BBC on this, including one with the person playing that masked-character. The dialogue/story for actresses/actors was apparently LLM-gibberish as well.

Voidzilla also went over this a bit, it's a good watch: https://youtu.be/QEG9gvHekEo?si=LODHrwT2Jo7tQUO1

But did it have a ball pit?

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav 16 points 1 year ago

That's immediately what I thought of

Come with me
And you'll see
A world of poorly executed, over-hyped, spent most of the money on marketing experience.

The worst part is that they forgot the chocolate. At a chocolate factory event.

[-] puchaczyk 17 points 1 year ago

What? People using AI suck at making stuff irl? That's new, I didn't know that.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Probably asked AI to put together the shopping list for the event.

Heard about this on My Brother My Brother and Me - sounded like an Ai fever dream, lol
