AI has been showing off its scarily realistic talents lately, like an AI-generated video reimagining of The Last of Us and if the Harry Potter cast were Disney characters. At the same time, we need to remember that AI isn’t perfect and does make mistakes. For instance, X’s AI system Grok misidentified a Hunger Games scene for Aftersun, and the internet is having a field day.
Grok is normally a very smart AI system where you can perform DeepSearch research, create files, projects, and more. On the other hand, AI isn’t perfect and can make mistakes like providing inaccurate information, misunderstanding a prompt, or misinterpreting content. @JibblePuss decided to test Grok’s intelligence by asking it what the following GIF is and see if you can guess:

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 2, you’d be correct. The GIF refers to the end of the dystopian movie when Finnick becomes the unfortunate casualty of President Snow’s mutts. It’s a character death I’m still not over, as the District Four victor ensured his friends made it up the ladder to safety before he did. @grok, however, has its own interpretation of the scene, and it kinda makes me laugh:
Paul Mescal, that’s definitely not the same movie. It’s like oil and water. @T_MoneyReviews made sure to clarify to the AI system the correct answer:
Grok, buddy. That’s the hunger games mockingjay part two.
Correct! However, Grok responded by saying that the X user is wrong and that Mockingjay- Part 2 is a Jennifer Lawrence movie. While the Oscar winner is the lead of the franchise’s conclusion, The Hunger Games has an ensemble cast of other talent worthy of recognition. @DeaditeBoi seemed just as confused by Grok’s answer as all of us:
Aint this fuckin Hunger Games 3 lmao
Yes, it is. Unfortunately, Grok still wasn’t convinced and still believed it was Aftersun. Other responses that Elon Musk’s AI system sent to X users were that it interpreted the GIF as Aftersun’s deep ending, where Paul Mescal’s Calum dances to “Under Pressure.” The AI system is really confusing a death scene with a dance? Now, that’s messed up. The indie film’s studio, @A24, had something blunt to say about Grok’s answer:
