This is literally AI, in every case. AI is literally the exploitation of the commons, both in the theft of intellectual property for training, and in how it is used.
I missed out on an event recently because it was full. I got a notification that a spot had become available shortly before it started, but I had an hour travel to get there so wasn't viable.
I think tools to enable better discovery are a good thing, but I'm not sure that I like the idea of splatting RSVPs just in case.
Sigh. As someone in the business of creating and hosting conferences please consider not doing this. It's such a giant drain on resources for event organizers to get applications and RSVPs for people that don't actually want to attend, and it could really harm well meaning people to plan for larger events by booking bigger rooms or arranging for food and logistics and so on.
If you decide to take this approach understand and likely to spawn countermeasures or consequences. The most likely outcome of this isn't better for anyone, it's just a world that has more application fees and roadblocks put in front of people who aren't assholes.
This feels like it's going to cause a lot of damage to the commons.
If one person does this, no big deal.
If everyone starts doing this, you're basically just creating spam. It'll become like LinkedIn job applications.

Nice! I was thinking of building something like this for myself.
I'm a little worried that the complexity could be too much and dissatisfying if I have to spend a ton of time tweaking it.
Event organizers will need to start charging refundable deposits. If you show up, you get your deposit back.
Spamming events with ai slop puts an unfair burden on the organizers
Tomorrow won't go well for you, again.
