Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hilariously corrects LA reporter over AI-generated stat

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hilariously corrected an LA reporter during a press conference by exposing an AI-generated statistic. The reporter, relying on AI search results, asked Gilgeous-Alexander about his assists in the first half of a recent game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The two-time MVP, however, explained that he had not recorded any assists during that first half.

The exchange, which caught the attention of social media users, showcased Gilgeous-Alexander's ability to fact-check information in real-time. Despite the incident, the reporter laughed off the mistake, acknowledging the risks of making decisions based solely on AI-generated data without verifying the underlying statistics. Gilgeous-Alexander, who recently scored 40 points while adding five assists and four rebounds, continued to carry the Oklahoma City Thunder's offense despite a recent losing streak.
