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

How did people not notice that the art was ai? If you're going to an event, buying a product, whatever- if the pictures are generated or rendered and not real then it's a scam.

I blame everyone that fell for this.

Nah, fuck that. People shouldn't have to be on constant guard for companies lying to them, even if the lies are delivered poorly.

Don't tell me YOU wouldn't take your children to an event that promises a pasadise of sweet teats

i assume that the demographic for this, being parents and young kids, either a) knew it was AI and just assumed it was marketing amping it up a little bit or b) are just not online enough to know the telltale signs of AI

most people don't spend as much time on the internet as you or i. i'm seeing a new headline about AI every day, it's one of the most common topics of discussion that i encounter. for the median glaswegian parent looking for something to do with their kid on the weekend, they probably never hear about it except when their excitable, socially inept nephew comes to visit.

Have you ever even met a Glaswegian?

They're the salt of the earth.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

The Internet is absolutely there. The images just scream fake, from the lighting alone.

I have kids. Definitely some weekends, I’ve just googled “events for kids in [where I live] this weekend”. Sometimes I find pretty good stuff that way. A lot of those parents may have done just that and never saw the AI stuff or barely looked at it.

(And when I do it, it’s for free/near-free things, no way I’d spend that kind of money for something n I didn’t research sufficiently).
