Klay Thompson brick trend, explained: Twitter's AI confuses 0-for shooting performance with 'brick-vandalism spree'


Grok did not seem to understand the trend going around social media after Thompson's brutal performance against the Kings.

"Authorities are investigating the claims after several individuals reported their houses being damaged, with windows shattered by bricks," the AI bot wrote. That message, along with others, appears to have confused the AI bot into believing Thompson was out vandalizing homes in the Sacramento area with bricks.
