"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The article doesn't mention it, but I sure hope they were billed for the rescue.
In my European country, mountain rescue is billed thousands of euro and it's not free, if it was due to stupidity
I can't imagine a 20 hour search+rescue being free in the land of the Free
This is actually an area that America is generally pretty good at i.e. rescues by the US Park Service are generally free, unless there's obvious gross intelligence.
Personally, I would consider using AI to plan a trip for multiple people as gross negligence, but considering this current government's position on AI, I suspect they weren't charged a penny for it.
No, bad taxpayer! Bad!
