The family diary I wouldn't want to have AI written. For the family encyclopedia I might be okay to be described as a biographer would about me.

A family diary would be most valuable to me. Knowing what family members did last week, adventures they had, and written down from the horse's mouth. And shared family events, where members make the diary notes together, add quotes on things that were said, etc.

I can also imagine an encyclopedia to be valuable, but it is a different use case entirely. Many people are keen to keep track of their family tree, and record the 'official history' of the family for generations after them. I might consult it before going to a family party to re-remember what university that niece went to again. But it is a more business-like use, less fun, less valuable. Here AI is perfect to do the boring chores of keeping stuff up to date.
