16-year-old teen stranded after following Claude's directions while climbing in Canadian mountains, rescued by helicopter

A 16-year-old teen in British Columbia, Canada, Bryce Vincent Gowryluk, used Claude last week to plan a round-trip route from Crown Mountain near Grouse Mountain. Along the way, he was led to the steep rock face of the Widowmaker Arete, where his physical strength and gear were insufficient to continue, and he eventually called for rescue. North Shore Rescue dispatched a helicopter, but because he was too close to the rock face for a direct landing, two crew members were lowered to rescue him and then transported him to a rescue base near Cleveland Dam. During the debrief, rescue personnel said he had deviated far from the planned route. The report states this is believed to be the first case of a hiker getting lost due to AI directions; in July of this year, the same area also saw an incident where three people relied on Google Maps to plan a route on the Howe Sound Crest Trail and needed rescue due to severely inaccurate time estimates.
