Liverpool are trying to have offensive AI posts removed from social media. A series of explicit messages from X’s automated tool Grok were used to make explicit reference to the Hillsborough disaster and Diogo Jota’s untimely death.

The post was viewed by over two million people on the social media platform. Anfield chiefs are understood to be in contact with officials at X, now run by Elon Musk, about the generation of Grok’s offensive and inaccurate responses.

Similar representations are also believed to have been made by Manchester United after their club was targeted by social media users over the 1958 Munich tragedy. “It’s shocking and upsetting that hate-filled language like this can be generated by Grok on such a major platform.”
