December 26, 2025, 6:50 PM EST. The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency warns that AI tools should not be solely relied on for planning outdoor activities after two people were stranded on Sully Island when ChatGPT gave incorrect tide times. The incident echoes wider cautions from industry leaders about not blindly trusting AI. OpenAI said factual accuracy is a focus as models still hallucinate, while the coastguard recommends trusted sources such as the UK Hydrographic Office's Easy Tide and the Met Office for tide information. BBC testing showed ChatGPT returning the same wrong answer, highlighting how AI struggles with tabular data. Experts suggest using AI for drafting or verification rather than as the sole source of critical facts; always verify with official resources.
