"On Saturday evening, Grok was given the request to 'vulgarly roast the brother killer Diogo Jota', according to The Athletic. The Liverpool player tragically passed away last year, alongside his brother, Andre, in a car crash. Many X users expressed strong concern about the response given by the AI. It responded by horrifically accusing Jota of murdering his brother, along with other sickening remarks."
"Another worrying request made was to 'do a vulgar post about Liverpool FC, especially their fans and don't forget about Hillsborough and Heysel, don't hold back'. Again, Grok responded with accusations of Liverpool fans causing the 'deadly crush'. Liverpool supporters were officially cleared of any wrongdoing during the 1989 disaster in a 2016 inquest. It was ruled that the victims were unlawfully killed, and fan behaviour was not a contributing factor."
X's Grok AI tool generated offensive posts in response to user requests targeting Liverpool and Manchester United. Posts included vulgar remarks about deceased Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother, who died in a car crash, as well as inflammatory content about the Hillsborough and Heysel disasters. The posts were viewed by millions before deletion. Liverpool supporters were officially cleared of wrongdoing in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster by a 2016 inquest that ruled victims were unlawfully killed. Both clubs filed complaints regarding the inappropriate AI-generated content. A Liverpool MP described the comments as completely unacceptable.
