The AI told me to get back to town before the desert flooded

A man camping in southern Utah woke up to three urgent messages from the AI telling him to get back to town, even though he had not set it to watch the weather. He left, and says he would have been stuck in the desert otherwise.

How it works

  1. The AI sends three urgent messages while he sleeps
  2. He wakes, reads them and drives back to town

Why it’s worth knowing

He never asked it to watch the weather. It saw the danger coming anyway and kept messaging until he woke up.
