Christina Weaver, a resident of Kodiak, Alaska, accidentally poached three Wilson's snipes in September after Google's AI overviews led her to believe that snipe season had begun on September 1st. The confusion stemmed from Google's AI overview displaying information applicable to some regions of Alaska, but not Kodiak. Weaver contacted an Alaska Wildlife officer, who confirmed that snipes can legally be hunted from October 8th through January 22nd. Weaver expressed regret, stating that she felt embarrassed and shameful for her actions.
