"The article recites multiple cases of AI giving climbers wrong routes"

hiking in the mountains used to be a hobby of mine. Did the hike up Half Dome back in 2013, started at daybreak from the valley floor. Awesome hike, physically demanding over the course of the day. After getting down, my group came to a trail split, and we took off in the wrong direction, heading off towards the interior John Muir trail ( I think that was the name ). This could have been a very, very bad mistake. Luckily I had a compass, and my friend had a map, and within a mile or so we realized that we were heading further away from our desired trailhead. The mistake happened because of fatigue. The correction happened because we had enough experience to have maps and compasses, and knew how to use them.

I would never strictly rely on electronics when out in the great outdoors. The idea that our military is going to rely on AI to make life and death decisions will almost certainly lead to a loss of life.
I'm guessing that the boots on the ground are going to have paper maps and non electronic navigation tools, so hopefully they can keep their wits about them and realize AI is sending them into trouble.
