A 16-year-old hiker had to be airlifted from a dangerous rock face on Crown Mountain near Vancouver after using Anthropic's Claude to plan a route to the summit.
He ended up on the Widowmaker Arete, a steep cliff requiring climbing gear, and called police when he got stuck on a ledge.
Rescue manager Paul Markey said Claude has no actual knowledge of locations or terrain and is no substitute for experience and common sense.
