Hikers rescued after using Google Gemini for planning: Hiking Safety

Three hikers were rescued from California's Mount Shasta after their expedition, planned using Google Gemini, went awry due to insufficient supplies. The AI chatbot advised them to carry "far less food and water" than needed, turning an eight-hour hike into a multi-day ordeal. Officials warn against relying solely on AI for critical real-world planning, emphasizing the need for human verification and local expertise.
