Google Maps once sent me on a highway across Northern Vietnam that is completely submerged for a considerable part of any given year. It also once tried to have me drive through an underground cave system that’s inaccessible without rappelling. Then there was the time a lovely woman in Pleiku spent an incredible amount of patient effort on using hand gestures and drawings to explain to the idiot American that, no, the tire repair her husband had expertly done was not, in fact, the high explosive bomb that Google Translate insisted it was.

NEVER trust AI-driven systems run by overworked engineers who haven’t been there, recently.
