No, I'm broke and have no income. But about a year ago I wrote some 20 line Python programs that use GPT (feed it text from web searches) and was surprised to find they worked significantly better than Bing's AI search...
I used it at a small scale with Python's (unofficial?) DuckDuckGo API, but I was looking for a way to scale up (ideally for free or very cheap). At the time, Bing's API was the best option I found, and it was pretty expensive.
I think it would be really cool if I could have an autonomous agent doing research on my current interests in the background 24/7, but it seems my best option is a very low volume of (free) web searches to seed a small web scraper, plus possibly a custom-built search engine (see also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38703943 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38703943 )
- golf_mike 3y agoYou say you're broke witbout income, but from reading your comments you have at least some skills to pay the bills. And I bet that if you put your back into it you can do it without misusing the only good search we've got. Or anything else for that matter. Keep it up!
- andai 3y agoThanks. And I'm sure you can succeed without implying your prospects are crooks. Edit: from your tone I assumed you worked for Kagi, but now I'm not sure
- golf_mike 3y agoDon`t work for kagi, and definitely not implying you are a crook. I believe your use case is not in good faith, and I also believe that you know that, but given your position it should be ok. And that is where we disagree, because I also believe you can do better. We all can. And sometimes that is something that needs to be said. I really wish you the best, and please do not take my words as an insult. It`s just the observation that my perspective grants me.
