“Thousands of people will take to the waters around the UK over the festive
season at organised swims that have been held for decades.
But those going it alone may want to heed Maritime and Coastguard Agency
warnings not to rely on AI tools when planning outdoor activities as it can
make mistakes.
The advice comes after two people became stranded on Sully Island, near Barry,
after ChatGPT gave them the wrong tide times and they had to be rescued by the
coastguard.
The warning echoes advice from a top tech industry chief not to "blindly trust"
everything AI tells people.
The chief executive of Google's parent company Alphabet, Sundar Pichai,
recently said AI models were prone to errors and urged people to use them
alongside other tools.
Does this incident show people would be wise to be wary of AI?
One of the rescued men thinks so.”
