AI is really getting out of hand, as most of us hardly cross-check information from a quick search. And that is what happened with an LA reporter during Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's press conference.
The reporter relied on AI search results for a statistic about Gilgeous-Alexander's first-half assists, only for the two-time MVP to point out the mistake.
During a press conference, the reporter asked Gilgeous-Alexander about recording assists in the first half of his previous game. The guard quickly corrected him, explaining that he had finished the first half against the Portland Trail Blazers without an assist.
The exchange drew attention on social media, with fans praising Gilgeous-Alexander for catching the inaccurate information.
However, the reporter acknowledged that the figure came from an AI search, while also laughing off the risks of relying on generated answers without checking the underlying statistics.
The moment came during a difficult stretch for Oklahoma City. The Thunder recently suffered a 113-112 loss to the LA Clippers, extending their losing streak to three games for the first time in more than three years.
Gilgeous-Alexander still delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 40 points on 15-of-26 shooting while adding five assists and four rebounds. He also had two opportunities to win the game in the final seconds, but neither attempt found the basket.
The two-time MVP has been carrying a heavy offensive burden amid Oklahoma City's injury problems. His performance against the Clippers showed that he can still produce at an elite level, even when the supporting cast is depleted.
