三名徒步者依赖 Google Gemini 规划登山后被困 Mount Shasta 获救
Hikers rescued after using Google Gemini for planning
三名徒步者用 Google Gemini 规划行程后在加州 Mount Shasta 被救，Siskiyou 县警长办公室称 Gemini 建议他们携带的食物和水远低于所需。三人凌晨3点出发，晚上7点才登顶，夜间下山迷路后在 Mud Creek Canyon 过夜，次日由 Forest Service 护林员和志愿者救出，警方提醒不要完全依赖 AI 做行程规划。
Three hikers were rescued from California’s Mount Shasta this week after using Google’s AI chatbot Gemini to plan their expedition, according to the Chicago Tribune.
A report from the Siskiyou County sheriff’s office said that three young men set off on their hike at 3am and — although hikers are told to turn around if they haven’t reached the summit by noon — they made it to the top at 7pm.
The trio then tried to descend in the dark, called the sheriff’s 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.
While it’s not clear whether Gemini can take all the blame for these bad decisions, the sheriff’s office said the hikers “were 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.”
“It is always advisable to call the local USFS Mount Shasta ranger station ahead of your trip to ensure you have the most accurate information, and to never rely solely on AI for your trip planning,” the sheriff’s office said.
