I love the idea! Setting up a faucet is really easy. The main problem you will have is getting enough funds, depending on your definition of 'generous' and how many people you expect to visit.

True that! I'd love to see a GRC faucet bot on steem that regularly posts updates of the amount available in the faucet and on how much was given out per user, encouraging the community to contribute through steem votes (which are then converted to GRC, or through direct contributions to a wallet) ... bots/apps with "their own" wallets are still funny to think off, but I think they will play a huge role in the future (living inside your office coffee machine, your car, that random charging station at the airport, etc.). Especially if they are implemented on a blockchain, thus removing the need to trust maintainers with the wallet income (at least in terms of what the program will do ... there will still need to be a private key stored somewhere safe / off the chain).
I have been looking into creating a steemit bot lately but didn't found a good cause for it. If interested contact me in slack if you'd like to discuss the idea further.
At first I laughed out loud, and then after some more thought I think you're right... That's crazy, but not unlikely in the near future...
In a way, we can already see this happening on a small scale outside crypto. There was an experiment by a tech firm (the name escapes me) who took a selfdriving car and connected it to Uber. They also gave the car its own bank account to collect earnings and buy fuel. It's a totally automomous robot - and the experiment only ended when the car broke down.
