This is actually an area that America is generally pretty good at i.e. rescues by the US Park Service are generally free, unless there’s obvious gross intelligence.
Personally, I would consider using AI to plan a trip for multiple people as gross negligence, but considering this current government’s position on AI, I suspect they weren’t charged a penny for it.
The article doesn’t mention it, but I sure hope they were billed for the rescue.
In my European country, mountain rescue is billed thousands of euro and it’s not free, if it was due to stupidity
I can’t imagine a 20 hour search+rescue being free in the land of the Free
