PSA: Don't rely on AI to plan anything that could put your life at risk... like a mountain climb - Engadget

The slop did not account for the slope

(sorry)

Honestly I hate AI with a burning passion. It's the stupidest shit on earth. Except for these climbers.

Because it's their own fucking fault. I don't even think we can blame AI for this one.

Don't even rely on it to plan inconsequential stuff, like an appliance purchase. It'll hallucinate all kinds of crazy features it doesn't have. I tried to use it to compare dishwasher models when I needed a new one. What a cluster fuck of wrong information and wasted time that was.

Wat? WHAT? Ive not climbed anything close to shasta, we dont even have peaks that high where i live but im much much more responsible when planning. Who even goes "uhh yeah 6 hours sounds about right" to a peak above 4k??? I mean sure i can climb 4000 meters elevation in 6 hours, thats about my pace but you also have to get down and i imagine those are not easy trails. All if this is so stupid especially since they were climbers cause tou are not just climbing that high randomly, youd give up much faster but that means these idiots climbed stuff successfully before which is insane.

The article doesn't mention it, but I sure hope they were billed for the rescue.

Darwin always wins

How many drugs over what time-frame does one have to take to think this would be a good idea?
I despair at humanity.

AI bros should do that more. If they do natural selection will kick in and take care of the problem for us.
