I just can't get over how a $40+ per head family event that was meant to last hours and literally _centered on candy_ -- and focused on chocolate specifically, which was completely absent -- planned for just one jellybean and a *¼ cup of lemonade* per child. I mean seriously who ever heard of such a thing? If the Onion were writing this story, even they wouldn't have gone THAT extreme with it, because it sounds too much like a joke! Yet multiple adults discussed, planned, and executed that unironically and thought it would work out 😶💀
That's so Scrooge-like! We often get lots of kids trick-or-treating on Halloween; so we buy the candy in bulk. That's what they could've done -- bulk-buy a bunch of the little individual bags of jelly beans, and then each child would get his/her own bag, instead of handing out 1 to 3 individual beans!
@@mostmelon8243the employees weren't paid, and they had to get a settlement. However, the actors that showed up, after fixing their revealing costumes, stuck around to at least entertain the kids as much as possible. Lol but yea, scammers gonna scam. Totally on the scammer 'employer'.. in quotes cuz he didn't PAY employees
I saw another clip that hasn't been commonly used but there was actually cups of strawberry, marshmallows and a chocolate fountain but I doubt that it was enough for everyone
With regard to the nonsensical text on the pictures, that's quite common in image generators. Basically those things can't really parse text, so they tend to generate squiggles in the approximate shapes of letters, but without the ability to recognize that letters in sequence provide meaning. It's actually impressive that it spelled as many words correctly as it did since the other thing about image generators is that the more complex it gets the more it falls apart.
The Unknown has been there the whole time, they've just been hiding in the walls. But rest assured, they're in the movies, just hiding off screen and biding their time until they can steal the chocolate unseen
This is like the irl version of asset-flip games. They literally found a bunch of premade props, threw them into a empty space, marketed it with ai art to disguise how crap it was, and then charged money for it.
@@mathiasbartl903While it's not an AI made game, Wicked wizard made a video about a dude that basically made the same train game on steam and just swapped some assets in between them. Think he has a few other asset swap games, they are part of the really crap steam games he reviews..
Thank you. I keep hearing people say how dumb the parents were but to me I'd have thought "oh they're just using AI to illustrate what it's supposed to look like" I don't think anyone thought they were real pictures of the event. They thought they were illustrations of something that was actually supposed to be nice. You obviously can't take pictures of an event that is in the future
Yeah, I can see where you're coming from and I agree the parents aren't bad or dumb. Many people still don't recognize AI too, or just aren't observant enough to see the disturbing parts of the imagery. That said, it's absolutely reasonable to expect real pictures of sites they're talking about. At best, the company simply didn't care to put any effort or time into this but realistically it seems pretty clear that there was also ill intention as well. Anyone realistically planning an event of this scale would already have designed and produced every prop in it and done test setups multiple times for their crew to practice. As a result, they *should* already have everything made and easy to set up, and so real pictures are very reasonable to expect. One doesn't need to hold the actual event to be able to do some quick promo photos of the purported sights within. A reputable company would already have a warehouse or other location where they're putting everything together and/or storing it before the event, which is where they could do promo photos for the website . And if they don't have that, they could just find a big flat area outside and get photos too. It's understandable to not have photos in the verrrrrry early stages of development, but it's sus af if they still don't have photos as it gets closer to the opening day.
Even restaurants take pictures or their food before putting it on the menu for people to see. Why would they use AI? Much less an image that looks so messy and unrealistic
Why is there such a big focus on it being AI like it changes anything? 😂 the fact is the graphics/illustration and description depicted something entirely different to reality. If it was AI or not doesn't matter, the organiser still had to view the images, approve and publish them for the event they were running.
As a former copywriter, it both infuriates me that people use AI to write text now, and delights me that AI still goofs it up enough that it can't really be fully trusted to do it on its own yet. We're not far off that, though, and I'm not sure I like it.
@@CrowWolfFox I wasn't trying to be original, fresh or sarcastic. I'm almost 40. I was just venting, as a guy who still works in writing and has to put up with the jokes from other departments about 'letting ChatGPT do it for you'. Knowing that's how the bosses are going to eventually think, as well.
I'd be terrified as a child, but I know I'd end up liking that part the most because my dad would be laughing and telling me it's just a guy in costume. Tbh I'd probably laugh if I was a parent too lol I can imagine looking at a guy in shitty Halloween Spirits costume/wig combo, my kid getting scared, and it would make me bust a gut.
When I was a kid, the fake Slugworth from the original film terrified me because of how he just showed up out of nowhere and straight up looked like the kind of guy who'd kidnap kids and leave little 'tokens' as clues for their parents to freak out over. I guess AI assumed kids today are sterner than that so it created....THE UNKNOWN and it succeeded in making children activate their fight or flight senses. Edit. 6:38 HOLY SHIT. tm ! OOOOOOOUUUURGH, this is so incompetent it HURTS.
i hope in few years we get a first-hand account from one of the kids that were there because i cannot imagine what it was like to be excited for a willy wonka chocolate factory experience and walking into this instead
So the event also had costs for the venue, the props, security, TESCO brand lemonade, now if everybody gets a refund, how are the actors gonna get paid?
I cant help but to imagine things wouldve been even slightly better if they put some fucking rugs down They probably had a conversation like "Yea we can do this for like $500 right?" Then each of the tapestries cost $40 and they only had $50 left over
i thought the same thing, also the black fabric just make it look like a construction place...maybe pink, purple or blue fabris wpuld look a little bit better
Exactly. These sorts of things can be put together pretty easily by a small group of creative, talented, resourceful people. My town does one each year for Christmas. The shoddiness of this Willy "McGuff" event just proves that the creator had no intention of providing a good experience. He just wanted to make a quick profit and put in the least amount of time, effort, and money possible.
Hugh Grant’s speech at the BAFTAs had more to do with Wonka than this “event”. Mad respect for the actors involved who had to power through this for the kids.
A big round of applause to the actors who tried their best to save what was left of this terrible experience and horribly written script, billy coull and house of illuminati shouldn't be allowed to touch beloved franchises with a 10ft pole just to make extra money gonna wait for Warner brothers to sue this guy and his company for using their trademark
This is like the real life version of those TH-cam channels that make shitloads off zero effort AI slop. I can totally imagine someone with no clue about what goes into an event like this thinking is an easy way to make money, not realising how much goes into immersive experiences like this
I don't know how many times you had to redo the take of you pronouncing the AI words, but you did a phenomenal job lmao I would have thought you were actually speaking english lmao
This actually sounds really cool, the script with the whole unknown gobstoper stuff sounds great if executed properly, not actually have a script written by ai, have a proper budget, and I think that could make a really good show
Funny how Dorian keeps coming up, at least for me. Last year I found out that a heck of a long time ago they produced one of my favorite music videos, Bathroom Stall Hypnosis.
21:50 almost pissed myself laughing at your joke about "metaphysics". BTW, that shit, "metaphysics" is just "the stuff that isn't real" but with a 3-piece suit
You know, I like playing with AI in my spare time. I do think it can give you some interesting "insights" on your own ideas. But letting it go completely wild to the point of just letting it write a whole script for an immersive event? No... If this wild ride of a script shows anything it is that you can't rely on AI without humans involved.
I am at 5 minutes in to this video and I need to say that the way these events work is they would have sponsors and vendors that would pay to be there. That's how you make this profitable. Idk if that's where you go but I needed to get that out. Imagine if Nestle was giving out product here, that would change this into a much better event. Without something like that don't book it.
The amount of incredible things you can pull off with just stuff from the dollar store is wild, and the only requirement is some effort. Things you can buy at a dollar store: -Fairy lights -candy -fake flowers -miscellaneous seasonal decor -glitter -candy -party decorations, and a wide variety of them at that -stickers -C A N D Y -fun tablecloths -party cups -different sweet drinks, including gallon bottles -garden lights, that are actually very pretty and magical looking -pretty vases and little magic looking potion bottles -c Andy, including chocolate -candy -little decorative statues and stuff that have a whimsical vibe -SO MUCH CANDY LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Imagine putting so much effort into crafting such grand, complex scam - but not being able to re-generate few AI images or just make an event simply GOOD ENOUGH so parents wouldn't want a refund.

McDuff? Simpsons sounding head@ss lmao. But in full honesty I feel really bad for the kids, and the parents/grandparents who only wanted to give their little ones some good memories.
I only use AI for my own personal entertainment for fun and not for actual serious business practice. It's just like a chimp on a typewriter where most results are nonsensical crap with a small chance that it's decent until it shit itself again with more nonsensical incoherent results using only few previous recurring keywords for context often without actual context or understanding. It's all an illusion by the human psyche to make sense out of the nonsense just because it looks more sense than it actual is on the surface. It's like the Clever Hans effect of those failed attempts to teach sign languages to apes which the only results with the apes signing single nouns and verbs without actual grammar that all human languages, even the sign languages, uses and the "researchers" themselves just fill in the grammar in between to make sense out of it. Most of the time the apes just signs random nonsense in hopes they would get it right for treats, praises and affection (the motivation of any trained animal performing trained tricks for humans) if analyzing closely, often incoherent to the "conversation". Often the "researchers" carefully picked the few clips of the footages of "conversations" with the decent results that don't involve just easy predictable answers and leave out the majority of the results that failed. AI is like an infinitive amount of these apes with infinite time except the basic organic needs to survive. In the end of the day, both never actually understand truly what they are doing but to imitate what they see until they think they got right results. It's actually surprisingly easy to program an AI through the Markov Chain method with only requiring a few scripts that generates decent sentences that looks coherent but it requires to build a massive database of texts or it would just copy/paste sentences directly out of the dataset if it's too small. You can have any language for your database but it wouldn't be enough for a multi-bilingual database. What it's doing is that the AI calculate the probability of a word to appear depending on the words it came before it (which the range of words to rely on can be adjusted. A large range will often result with the AI just copy/paste directly from the dataset. A small range will often result in forgetting the context. Or at least that was my own observation.) Then again just because it follows a correct grammar doesn't mean it makes sense or understands the text. It just recognize a common pattern which could be why AIs usually result in common stereotypes and cliches. Of course my model was way too simple even if the result look decent, it's less flexible and nuanced due to the tiny dataset compare to OpenAI and GPT's automatic growing dataset extracting from the enormous internet amongst other features. I haven't implemented a prompt feature yet so it just start a random sentence, often in the middle of some sentence.
I feel so bad for the poor not-Oompa Loompa. She was trying so hard to make the event good for the kids who interacted with her but she could only give them one jellybean. She dealt the entire event with tearful children and angry parents and she just wanted to make those kids happy.
I still don't know how they wouldn't know that this is sketchy, even if they don't know anything about AI. I mean, look at the text you just read. Why wouldn't you not be suspicious about it?
I cannot believe avant-pop legend Dorian Electra weighed in on this 😅 Just found your channel, you make great content, imma sub Edit: oh i already did lol
This doesn't just sound AI generated it sounds AI orchestrated. What if an AI set everything up, rented the building, hired the staff and cast, did the promoting.
The script sounded more like a candy-themed Alice in Wonderland play rather than a "Never Meet Your Heroes" Willy Wonka Factory

Me: I thought this was supposed to be the "Willy Wonka Experience", not Edgar Allan Pothead's "The Face of the Crimson Fever".
McDuff? Simpsons sounding head@ss lmao. But in full honesty I feel really bad for the kids, and the parents/grandparents who only wanted to give their little ones some good memories.
WAS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO BUY FAKE GRASS FROM YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORES?!
Like come on man, this isnt that hard lmao.
Had to subscribe for the lil rhyme alone. Great vid, this whole situation is so bemusing 😂
I only use AI for my own personal entertainment for fun and not for actual serious business practice.
It's just like a chimp on a typewriter where most results are nonsensical crap with a small chance that it's decent until it shit itself again with more nonsensical incoherent results using only few previous recurring keywords for context often without actual context or understanding.
It's all an illusion by the human psyche to make sense out of the nonsense just because it looks more sense than it actual is on the surface. It's like the Clever Hans effect of those failed attempts to teach sign languages to apes which the only results with the apes signing single nouns and verbs without actual grammar that all human languages, even the sign languages, uses and the "researchers" themselves just fill in the grammar in between to make sense out of it. Most of the time the apes just signs random nonsense in hopes they would get it right for treats, praises and affection (the motivation of any trained animal performing trained tricks for humans) if analyzing closely, often incoherent to the "conversation". Often the "researchers" carefully picked the few clips of the footages of "conversations" with the decent results that don't involve just easy predictable answers and leave out the majority of the results that failed.
AI is like an infinitive amount of these apes with infinite time except the basic organic needs to survive. In the end of the day, both never actually understand truly what they are doing but to imitate what they see until they think they got right results.
It's actually surprisingly easy to program an AI through the Markov Chain method with only requiring a few scripts that generates decent sentences that looks coherent but it requires to build a massive database of texts or it would just copy/paste sentences directly out of the dataset if it's too small. You can have any language for your database but it wouldn't be enough for a multi-bilingual database. What it's doing is that the AI calculate the probability of a word to appear depending on the words it came before it (which the range of words to rely on can be adjusted. A large range will often result with the AI just copy/paste directly from the dataset. A small range will often result in forgetting the context. Or at least that was my own observation.)
Then again just because it follows a correct grammar doesn't mean it makes sense or understands the text. It just recognize a common pattern which could be why AIs usually result in common stereotypes and cliches.
Of course my model was way too simple even if the result look decent, it's less flexible and nuanced due to the tiny dataset compare to OpenAI and GPT's automatic growing dataset extracting from the enormous internet amongst other features. I haven't implemented a prompt feature yet so it just start a random sentence, often in the middle of some sentence.
Now would be a good time for Johnny Depp to step up and offer to help them create a new event
😅 9:37 I'm the Original Poster, posing as an imposing paper poster of the most sus imposter.
(TM)
ChatGPT told me to please respect its boundaries. So, it's like most humans.
I feel so bad for the poor not-Oompa Loompa. She was trying so hard to make the event good for the kids who interacted with her but she could only give them one jellybean. She dealt the entire event with tearful children and angry parents and she just wanted to make those kids happy.
I still don't know how they wouldn't know that this is sketchy, even if they don't know anything about AI. I mean, look at the text you just read. Why wouldn't you not be suspicious about it?
As he mentioned, many people bought the tickets before the AI stuff was made
tip: do not pitch your book series on getting rich from inside the dimly lit basement you live in
This is genuinely one of the funniest things that’s happened in years
The Plan Nine From Outer Space of magical experiences. The AI was channeling Ed Wood.
I cannot believe avant-pop legend Dorian Electra weighed in on this 😅
Just found your channel, you make great content, imma sub
Edit: oh i already did lol
oompa loompa meth lab!? SOLD! Hell, I'd pay $50 usd to see that!
I like to imagane they all had to learn magic and the audience where just given scripts but after they learnt magic the scripts where scrapped
This is what the Wonka at home version looks like!
Chances are most the kids didn’t even get that single bean they prob buried it
Does anyone even eat gobstoppers anymore?
I don't believe this Billy Cool bloke has a medical license.
This doesn't just sound AI generated it sounds AI orchestrated. What if an AI set everything up, rented the building, hired the staff and cast, did the promoting.
okay this is perfect because i’ve been seeing very periphery info about this so this is perfect LOL
