Three hikers were rescued from California\u2019s Mount Shasta this week after using Google\u2019s AI chatbot Gemini to plan their expedition, according to the Chicago Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A report from the Siskiyou County sheriff\u2019s office said that three young men set off on their hike at 3am and \u2014 although hikers are told to turn around if they haven\u2019t reached the summit by noon \u2014 they made it to the top at 7pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The trio then tried to descend in the dark, called the sheriff\u2019s office to ask for directions, and spent the night in Mud Creek Canyon before being rescued the next morning by Forest Service rangers and volunteers.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not clear whether Gemini can take all the blame for these bad decisions, the sheriff\u2019s office said the hikers \u201cwere advised by Gemini to bring far less food and water than their group required, especially when their planned 8-hour ascent became a multiday ordeal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is always advisable to call the local USFS Mount Shasta ranger station ahead of your trip<\/a> to ensure you have the most accurate information, and to never rely solely on AI for your trip planning,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
