This is the best summary I could come up with:
Over the weekend, organizers of what was described as a "Willy Wonka Experience" in Scotland duped unsuspecting parents into bringing their kids to a truly dmsial event using clearly AI-generated marketing materials.
The $44-a-ticket experience turned out to fall well short of the fantastical landscapes dreamed up by an AI, with cheap-looking props sparsely populating a dirty warehouse near downtown Glasgow.
Local actor and comedian Paul Connell explained on TikTok how he was hired to be one of the three โ not just one โ Willy Wonkas tasked to entertain children at the event.
"Scene ends with the audience fully immersed in the interactive, magical experience, laughter and joy filling the air," it continues.
Sure, AI can whip up fantastical imagery and low-effort dialog โ but if audiences call BS, the blowback can be extraordinarily embarrassing.
As Rolling Stone reports, Coull appears to be the only official employee of the company, and has since scrubbed many of his social media accounts, including a YouTube and LinkedIn profile, where he presents himself as a business-savvy life coach.
The original article contains 728 words, the summary contains 176 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
You get a silver star for trying. This article is just too much for AI to re-write.
AutoTldr does not use "AI".
All these sentences can be found in the original article, it is just using a statistical approach which sentences to keep.
