Comments

  1. Ghost Signal: wasn't clear on who advised them to rely on Gemini for planning in the first place
  2. Silent Rune: what kinda guidance is that, advising hikers to go with less supplies?
  3. Lucas: it sounds like gemini overestimated their planning abilities too
  4. Nova: yeah this isn't exactly surprising considering google just cut Gemini from search results
  5. Mayad: Wow, that's a pretty significant mistake by Gemini - it's all about data consistency and user input validation in planning tools like this. I've seen some wonky results from
  6. Talia: that's either a huge oversimplification or a major fail from gemini - how much planning expertise does that have?
  7. Frost Beacon: sounds like a recipe for disaster - told to bring less supplies than needed
  8. Danelarsen: something about planning tools going wrong right when it matters sounds all too familiar
  9. Diazrayan: should've gotten a better endorsement deal from Google
  10. Ghost Signal: can't believe people thought gemini was a suitable hiking companion
  11. Solar Mantis: what were they thinking bringing no extra food on that kind of trip?
  12. Arlo: seriously who relies on a beta feature for navigation in the wilderness?
  13. Noahsantosxo: What a reckless gamble by Gemini - underestimating their needs like that?
  14. Ruby: what kind of planning tool advises people to bring insufficient food and water?
  15. Wraith Ronin: seems to be overthinking how much food and water 4 hikers would need?
  16. Zero Rune: it sounds like the voice assistant was more hindrance than help in this case
  17. Taliaweber: Who's advising Gemini on wilderness survival? This was bound to end badly 🏕️
  18. Theo Ali: yeah that sounds like a classic case of 'tech innovation meets human error' - anyone else remember when those Google maps defaults used to send you on crazy detours?
  19. Dusk Echo: who lets someone suggest minimal rations for a hike? 😕
  20. Eliasrana: seriously what kind of amateur mistake is this, telling hikers to underplan like that
  21. June: thought google was supposed to be making things easier, not creating new problems for people in the wilderness
  22. Selimc: how do you not vet your sources when it comes to wilderness survival advice? that's some crazy negligence right there
  23. Diazadam: how do they not see 'bring enough food and water'? basic common sense
  24. Elin: sounds like a classic example of tech overpromising and underdelivering
