Looks like a TOS violation to me to scrape google directly like that. While the concept of giving a text only model 'pseudo vision' is clever, I think the solution in its current form is a bit fragile. The SerpAPI, Google Custom Search API, etc. exist for a reason; For anything beyond personal tinkering, this is a liability.

Not about GPT-OSS specifically, but say you used Gemma for the same purpose instead for this hypothetical.

- svnt 8mo agoYour TOS violations just have to enable you to get big enough to fund your own legal defense and pay typical corporate fines, and then you’re ok. If you do it and give it away they will come for you.

- vkaufmann 8mo agoCoolest thing about it is, its 1 pip install to give your local model the ability to see, do Google Searches and use News, Shopping, Scholar, Maps, Finance, Weather, Flights, Hotels, Translate, Images, Trends etc Easiest and fastest way and the impact is massive
