While I'm not a fan of the AI generated articles or images, I think the overall service of aggregating and publishing local events is really useful.

I was actually trying to do something like this myself the other day by looking for RSS/Atom feeds of local organizations to keep track of different community events, but most do not publish anything in a consistent manner.

Having some AI bots scraping the various sites and synthesizing the events into some sort of standard feed would actually be great.
