In July, three people were rescued after they planned a route on the Howe Sound Crest Trail using Google Maps, which gave them wildly inaccurate time estimates, suggesting a route that often takes as long as 14 hours could be done in just over five

“The main thing is: do not blindly rely on AI as as a route planning tool. It can never substitute for good education, good training, a good experience, good decision making in the field.”

I recently read about a similar story with Deepseek. Don't understand why someone blindly trusts a LLM.

Its like that in vietnam too, 6 hours is 8 or 9 in good conditions and riding double the speed limit.

Last month, google maps tried to send me down a road that is under water for 3 months of the year, after several miles of construction.

I switched to waze after google kept routing me off the highway and through dirt trails between farms or dense, winding neighborhood allys to avoid interchanges. At one point google hated a highway so much I had to put traffic stop every 20 miles or do or it would tell me to turn around and make a 1 hour detour instead of following a straight, empty highway.

I asked Claude how to pee. It all made sense but unfortunately I now need to cleanup.

It also happened with Gemini https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/mount-shasta-rescue-ai-22414497.php

It's becoming the new "our latest model also "accidentally" hacked someone"

One major point in this respect is that these things are mainly reported in the West about Western LLMs, while in China similar stories related to Chinese LLMs are censored to avoid negative reporting on the country.
