The AI of Billy Coull


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.

Daily Mail "The face behind Willy Wonka 'scam': How Billy Coull 'conned' kids by using AI generated images to sell 'immersive' experience, sold Chat-GPT authored novels on Amazon, and faced backlash for cancelling Santa grotto"

The National "Willy Wonka Glasgow: Video shows moment furious parents confront boss Billy Coull"

Sportskeeda "Who is Billy Coull? Man behind the 'Willy Wonka Experience' trolled online after photographs from the scam event go viral"

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. Here's one of his websites, I'm not sure what the website is about.

A screenshot of the House of Illuminati's website, featuring three Ai generated images. One of them features people dancing in a ballroom, the one on the far right are people watching a play, and the middle image is people standing in a room, very sci-fi looking. The first image reads "Mystique Galas: Enter a world of grandeur and secrecy at our Mystique Galas. These events are a fusion of high-society elegance and intriguing performances, featuring masked ballroom dances, enigmatic storytelling, and live classical music. Guests are invited to don their most lavish attire and partake in an evening of opulent mystery."   The middle image, where everyone is standing in a room reads "Avant-Garde Art Installations: Explore the boundaries of art and perception with our Avant-Garde Art Installations. These interactive exhibitions blend cutting-edge technology with provocative art, creating multisensory experiences that challenge and captivate. From digital landscapes to immersive light shows, each installation is a journey through the unexplored territories of creativity."  The third image where people are watching a play reads "Interactive Theater Experiences: Immerse yourself in our Interactive Theater Experiences, where you become part of the story. These events blur the lines between performer and audience, inviting guests to engage directly with the narrative. Whether it’s a detective mystery or a journey through fantastical worlds, each experience is uniquely enthralling."

If you go on Amazon, you'll find his "books" several of which are no longer available but keep in mind if you do see them give them a skip.

The cover is a bunch of white wires connecting themselves to look like a brain.
