16-year-old follows Claude's directions and gets stranded in Canadian mountains; previous incident involved Gemini navigation leading to hiker being stranded

A 16-year-old teen, while hiking back from Grouse Mountain in British Columbia, Canada, followed route directions from Anthropic's Claude, was led off the marked trail, and ended up stranded at the base of the steep rock face Widowmaker on Crown Mountain, forcing a rescue call. North Shore Rescue search and rescue manager Paul Markey said a fall could have caused serious injury or even death; because the helicopter could not get close to the steep rock face, two rescuers were lowered to the teen's location, established anchors, and moved him to a point where he could be evacuated. The report notes that last month a similar incident occurred on Mount Shasta in California, where three climbers used Google's Gemini to plan their route and supplies. Gemini suggested bringing less food and water to lighten the backpack load. The group summited several hours later than the suggested turnaround time, one person injured a knee while descending in the dark, and they were eventually stranded at about 11,000 feet, assisted down by Forest Service mountaineering rangers.
