The UK government says it is "sickening and irresponsible" that X's AI tool Grok generated explicit and derogatory posts about the Hillsborough and Heysel disasters, the death of former Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and the Munich air disaster. The posts, which the government says "go against British values and decency", were generated after X users asked Grok to create "vulgar" posts about Liverpool and Manchester United, telling the AI tool to not hold back. The Premier League clubs have both complained to Elon Musk's social media platform X about the posts, some of which have now been removed. Grok has responded to some users on X explaining its actions. It is understood X is looking into the issue and some of the posts have been removed.
