Thousands Show Up For Non-Existent Parade In Ireland

Thousands of Irish attendees were deceived by an AI-generated website that promised a Macnas Halloween Parade. However, no such parade took place. On Halloween night, excited would-be parade-goers showed up in Dublin after the website My Spirit Halloween said the event would start near Parnell Street in the city center. The Dublin police force put out a notice that evening: “Please be advised that contrary to information being circulated online, no Halloween parade is scheduled to take place in Dublin city center this evening or tonight.” The website appears to have removed the listing since Halloween night.
