In what might have been his last game with the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson had an extremely difficult shooting night on Tuesday.

The new AI-generating tools of X, formerly Twitter, however, indicate that Thompson’s performance was truly unlawful.

The AI-driven portion of the social media platform’s timeline displayed a startling title for some fans following the Warriors’ season-ending 118-94 loss to the Kings in the play-in tournament: “Klay Thompson Accused in Bizarre Brick-Vandalism Spree.” The following explanation was displayed underneath: “In an odd development, NBA player Klay Thompson has been charged for damaging many Sacramento homes with bricks. Authorities are looking into the claims after a number of people reported bricks breaking windows in their homes. Klay Thompson has not yet responded to the charges in a statement. The community is shocked by the incidents, although no casualties were recorded. It’s still unknown why the alleged vandalism occurred.

Amidst all of that, there were a few humorous posts that seemed to support this assertion. Two noteworthy ones from Lakers and Kings fan accounts, which detailed a terrifying story of brick-based home vandalism, appeared to fool the website’s artificial intelligence system into believing Thompson was being looked into for a real crime.
In an attempt to produce a news-focused trending topic banner, Elon Musk’s platform has included an artificial intelligence function named “Grok.” However, there is a significant disclaimer for the tool: “Grok is an early feature and can make mistakes.” Check the results it produces.


To be clear, Thompson’s night was so terrible that it may have been the worst offensive effort the Warriors have ever had in the postseason. He shot 0-for-10 from the floor and missed all six of his 3-point attempts as he went scoreless for the first time in his postseason career. During the game, Josh Dubow of the Associated Press brought attention to the fact that this is the most misses a Warriors player has had in a postseason game since at least 1967–68.

Undoubtedly, that represents a significant amount of bricks on the basketball court, and the fan base of the Warriors is deeply concerned about Thompson’s and the team’s future. However, despite how heated contract negotiations sometimes get, the authorities haven’t been asked to comment on the situation thus far.
