"A.i." sucks and you shouldn't use it.
So, I moderated a local history panel last weekend. An organizer just sent me a "summary" to approve. They uploaded the audio to some AI, which fabricated an outline and "pull quotes." The quotes are fake. No one on the panel said any of that.
It had the full audio and STILL made up quotes.

Even in New England, where we're more used to snow and winter weather, heavy accumulations of ice will shut down a city. Don't drive on it, seriously.
