"Willy Wonka Immersive Events: From Tears to Outrage, the Controversy Continues"
Parents in Glasgow were outraged after a Willy Wonka-themed event turned out to be a scam, with little to offer beyond props and unprepared actors in a mostly empty warehouse. The organizer, Billy Coull, also runs House of Illuminati, a company with AI-generated promotional materials for supposed immersive experiences. Coull has a history of dubious projects, including an Amazon business selling AI-written conspiracy books, some of which promote right-wing politics and misinformation about vaccinations. Despite attempts to scrub his online presence, Coull continues to operate House of Illuminati, raising concerns about the potential for more flimsy ventures using AI technology.
