AI Trip Advice Blamed for Mount Shasta Rescue

Three hikers were rescued from California's Mount Shasta after relying on Google's Gemini chatbot for expedition planning. The Siskiyou County sheriff's office reported that Gemini advised them to carry far less food and water than needed, and their ascent took much longer than expected. The group spent a night in a canyon before being found by Forest Service rangers and volunteers the next morning.
