treat or rick? For thousands of people in Dublin, Ireland, a Pakistani AI-generated website is choosing the latter. We are as perplexed as you are, so don’t worry.
According to Vice, a website called My Spirit Halloween advertised a Macnas Halloween Parade and informed readers that a costume party would take place in Ireland’s capital city between 7 and 9 p.m.
However, as thousands of people gathered, they quickly realized the event was not real. Simply put, chaos followed next. The publication claims that a sizable crowd obstructed Dublin’s sidewalks and streets, necessitating the intervention of the police to disperse the disappointed revelers.
The Independent was informed by a person who shared the scene on TikTok that the “Garda,” or Irish national police, were trying to clear the street, and that Diwali celebrations had brought a larger crowd to the streets.He commented, “It was funny. Even now, we are smiling.
The situation necessitated the Garda posting a message on X, which was previously Twitter, encouraging people waiting on O’Connell Street to “disperse safely.”
A representative stated: Please be advised that, contrary to online information, there will not be a Halloween parade in Dublin’s downtown this evening or tonight.
“Please disperse safely all those gathered on O’Connell Street in anticipation of such a parade.”
Councillor Janice Boylan of the political party Sinn Fein characterized the circumstance as “really sad.”
“Everyone is trying to have a fun and safe Halloween,” she stated. Going to a parade sounded like a great idea. I’m aware that quite a few people showed up. It is truly regrettable.”
