During Hurricane Isaias's Gulf Coast landfall, a county emergency manager published an AI-chatbot-generated graphic showing a "sting jet" wind threat to the Alabama coast — and it wasn't meteorologically accurate. Laura Myers, director of the University of Alabama's Center for Advanced Public Safety, recounted the case: "It did what he wanted it to do, but it was not meteorologically accurate." The story raises the question of whether the public should trust AI-written emergency alerts.
