三名徒步旅行者在加利福尼亚州的沙斯塔山获救，此前他们使用谷歌的AI聊天机器人Gemini规划行程。据警长办公室称，Gemini建议他们携带的食物和水远少于实际所需，导致原计划8小时的攀登变成多日困境。尽管Gemini是否应负全责尚不明确，但当局建议在出行前联系当地的美国林务局沙斯塔山护林站获取最准确的信息，切勿完全依赖AI进行旅行规划。
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.
