Starting to think this guy is a shitty LLM image, the taint of Generative AI calling a real life man into question...

#WillyWonka #BillyCoull

Say what you want about #BillyCoull, the AI-assisted scam artist who runs #HouseOfIlluminati, publishes AI-generated novels on Amazon, and put on #WillysChocolateExperience in Glasgow last weekend — the guy loves his family. Well done for thinking about the baby's health and giving him Diet Coke, Billy. And remember: only one jelly bean, and a quarter cup of lemonade!

‘Willy Wonka’ UK Event Promoter Issues Second Apology, Promises Refunds

A more detailed apology has been issued for the 'Willy Wonka' immersive event gone wrong

Deadline

Time to put another AI author on blast, this time it’s the person who made the AI Willy Wonka "Experience". If you’re unsure what I just said, a guy named Billy Coull created a Willy Wonka “Experience” and created the entire event using AI. It sounds weird and it looked bad. Here are some links to a few articles about him and the whole experience if you want a more in-depth look into this guy. I’m just the cliff notes.

There's not much I need to say about this guy which those articles haven't already covered. The dude loves AI, and everything he touches has AI in it. Down below is a screenshot of his website followed by his Amazon author page. If you see these books, stay away from them.
