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

This story is incredibly funny.

I liked that there was a weird monster character that isn't real, the script was AI gibberish, and the actor just went with it.

You can't even blame AI for this. This is just so bad it's hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

i've said this before, but the danger of AI isn't that it's so good that it'll put so many skilled knowledge workers out of work, but that it significantly lowers the floor of just how shitty a product you can offer without being rejected by the market.

People are naturally just not going to know everything and have their guards up to prevent getting scammed by some of this. We can look at this and see it's a gift but not the mom who is overworked running on no sleep and wanting to do something nice for the kids out of the house.

This kind of thing is why I can't but into any worldview that is against regulations & taking a heavy hand against corporations. Probably part of why I am way more of a ML and Mao seems better every day mao-wave

Photo from the event looks like my pitiful attempt at making a hexbear post.

I know someone that looks like the Oompa Lumpa because she has the same hair cut and dye

You see, with the money they saved by using AI instead of an artist, they were able to give those savings back to the consumers and invest in company growth.

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.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 8 months ago

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

I blame everyone that fell for this.

I blame everyone that used highly convincing and powerful technology to generate a scam out of nothing... not the people who aren't terminally online enough to identify AI generated images off of vibes alone

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You don't have to be terminally online tho? The lighting and saturation of the colors aren't what'd you see irl

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I don’t think most people are aware of AI being already widely usable

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Have you ever even met a Glaswegian?

They're the salt of the earth.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

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).

tbf bottom pic is probably as drab as a real candy factory

Hardly AI’s fault. You can blame the humans.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Everything ai generates isn't truly original. It's just a summary of our thoughts, desires, and feelings.

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 😅

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

God damn. I’d be livid if I blew my money on this. How much were they charging?
