Reddit is so anti-AI that i can’t post this anywhere else (including all the tip/lifehack style subs), but feels like a use-case EVERYONE should probably be aware of (and from my searches, no one on reddit has really shared this since AI became usable in this context): Having a completely customizable data-filter (and gatherer) for calendar-events in your area is a really meaningful way for you or people you care about to increase your ability to engage with your community and interests. Local Events are often advertised across dozens of different/unrelated websites, council calendars, community groups, universities and social media pages. Not to mention, those websites are often filled with repetitive events or classes from more profit-based businesses attempting to use them as advertisement platforms. It’s genuinely hard to get involved sometimes. In my case, my first casual prompt found 150 unique local public events in my city (200,000p), all occurring within 14 days (and that was with filters applied). I knew about just 5 of those beforehand. And a larger radar found a tonne of niche events i was interested in checking out and i signed up to (Though i had stronger filters for wider areas and a few events were already fully booked). This is precisely the type of activity that AI excels at. Even someone who has a dedicated routine browsing their local groups and events on social media will miss things pretty easily, not to mention the time spent looking, algorithm issues, or the fact you simply might not follow the right groups, or even have social media. And fortunately, hallucinations really aren’t a big issue here. Even if you hate AI, or oppose it on principle, using its powerful data-sorting abilities for the purpose of community engagement (and potentially genuine charity events and fundraising) is a use-case we could all get behind. We, the users, should be pushing this tech in the right direction, normalizing the use-cases which benefit society, and helping to restrict or condemning the use-cases which leave society worse-off. I think this post is providing far more value than half the shitty memes and twitter posts i see here. Hard not to sound like a salesman with this one, but genuinely feels like this should be common knowledge since AI is clearly here to stay, and its getting more important than ever to be thinking about your local communities instead of interacting with a bot and advertisement filled internet. submitted by /u/Liefblue
