Klay Thompson's awful night turned into a wild story about a 'brick-vandalism spree' thanks to Twitter AI

Artificial intelligence may be slowly creeping its way into the zeitgeist, but let’s just say there are kinks to work out, especially when it comes to this hilarious turn that Klay Thompson’s awful game took.

It’s true that he threw up a bunch of bricks, but not literally. Yet thanks to — as far as I can tell — a post on X (formerly Twitter) from @LakeShowYo that went viral (see below), X’s Grok AI turned a faux tale of Klay vandalizing his house with bricks into … a literal story of of Thompson vandalizing houses with bricks.

Check it out and have a laugh:

First off… I am ok.

My house was vandalized by bricks

After my hands stopped shaking, I managed to call the Sheriff…They were quick to respond

My window was gone and the police asked if I knew who did it

I said yes, it was Klay Thompson
