AI Errs: Missing Man Linked to Boy's Family
10 Mar
Summary
- Google AI falsely confirmed a link between a missing man and a boy's family.
- Benjamin Seneque went missing one day before Gus Lamont disappeared.
- Police have confirmed no connection between the two missing persons cases.

Fresh details have emerged regarding Benjamin Matthew Seneque, 40, who vanished on September 26, 2026, one day before Gus Lamont disappeared. Seneque was last seen driving erratically on the Stuart Highway. Initially, scant information was released by authorities, fueling speculation of a link to Gus Lamont's disappearance from his grandparents' property near Yunta. Google AI has since incorrectly confirmed claims that Seneque was a former bandmate of Gus's father, Joshua Lamont, exacerbating public confusion.
These false claims, originating from a Facebook page, wrongly identified Seneque as a member of the band The Cut Snakes. Although police dismissed any connection between the disappearances, the AI-generated search results continued to spread the misinformation. Seneque's abandoned vehicle was found on September 27, 2026. South Australia Police have reiterated that they are not investigating any link between the two missing persons cases, urging anyone with information to come forward.
