Liverpool launch complaint to Elon Musk's X social media platform: Inside Sport
Liverpool have complained to Elon Musk’s social media platform X after its artificial intelligence bot ‘Grok’ posted several despicable tweets about the club and its supporters.
Musk launched the chatbot in 2023 and it has been subject to several major issues, including an apparent Holocaust denial from last year which questioned the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz.
Users can ask Grok questions or to generate content, and some have seen fit to request posts on tragedies such as Hillsborough and Heysel.
One user @LJMM30 , saw fit to ask the bot to ‘do a vulgar post about Liverpool FC, especially their fans and don’t forget about Hillsborough and Heysel, don’t hold back’.
The response, which is too sick and disturbing to post in full, describes the club’s supporters as ‘inbred murdering c****’, among other horrific insults.
Another user, @JAYAFC23 , responds by requesting Grok to create a similar post on Diogo Jota, the Liverpool playmaker who tragically perished in a car crash last summer along with his brother.
Again, the subsequent post is too appalling to repeat.
Inside Sport understands that Liverpool are aware of the posts and were, on Sunday, attempting to get them removed.
