The US Forest Service reports that “a party of three young, novice climbers” climbed Mt. Shasta in late August. They got lost on the way down, and had to be rescued.
So why am I posting about that here? Well:
Some key factors in this incident: The group reported using an AI platform, YouTube videos and AllTrails to plan their climb. Specifically, they relied on AI to determine what types of food to bring, and how much food and water they would need for the trip.
Never trust what generative AI tells you. I’ve been saying that for a while, but I feel like it’s especially important in a context where your survival depends on having accurate information.
