    Made something similar a few weeks ago with GPT6 when it launched to test it out, however for just US lighthouses: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jmoul.io&#x2F;lighthouse-map&#x2F;?v=20260909-3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jmoul.io&#x2F;lighthouse-map&#x2F;?v=20260909-3

    Although this one look a lot better. cool! like how the beams look like they&#x27;re ray traced.

    I feel like this is a cool application of using ai - before something like this would be unfeasible to make due to the amount of lighthouses. Parsing through the amount of data to create a description of every lighthouse would take months+.
