🔥 Teen Gets Stranded on a Cliff After Letting AI Plan His Hike

A 16-year-old hiker set out to climb Crown Mountain by a hiking trail, but the AI's directions led him onto a rock-climbing route. Rescuers managed to reach him by phone and airlifted him out by helicopter.

Search manager Paul Markey admits it all could have ended much worse.

"You can't just blindly follow what AI is proposing to you," Markey warns, adding that hikers need to question the information and check whether it makes sense.

Do you use AI when you travel?

❤️ — Yes, it's really convenient!
🔥 — No, that's irresponsible
