Halloween has recently been celebrated with various events around the world. But the real interesting event took place in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.
Thousands of people took to the streets of Dublin to take part in a Halloween parade that never took place. The reason for this was advertisements created by artificial intelligence that made it seem like there was an event that did not exist.
The My Spirit Halloween website has announced the completely made-up Macnas Halloween Parade, which is due to take place on the streets of Dublin from 7pm to 9pm. News of the parade spread quickly on the Internet and even got a news ranking on Google.
A fake website was even created with the help of artificial intelligence.

Thousands of people dressed up in Halloween costumes and waited on the streets for hours waiting for an event that would never happen. They even left a space in the street for the parade to pass through.
The situation forced Irish police to issue a message to people wishing to attend the parade, urging them to “disperse safely”. “Contrary to information circulating online, there are no plans to hold a Halloween parade in Dublin city center this evening or tonight,” a spokesperson for the police department said.
It is possible to create outrage with artificial intelligence
This incident may seem “funny” for now, but being able to bring thousands of people to the streets with just a few visuals created with artificial intelligence seems to prove that this technology can be used to create outrage within societies in the future. So, is there no solution to save people from believing in artificial intelligence?
We have bad news for you. Unfortunately, there is no solution for now!
