    Teen's AI-guided mountain hike ends with a helicopter rescue and a lesson in common sense

    A 16-year-old planned his hiking route on Crown Mountain near Vancouver using Anthropic's Claude and had to be airlifted off a steep rock face. The chatbot had sent him down a route that requires climbing gear. Bryce doesn't blame the AI but says he'll never use it for route planning again.
