alt Hacker NewsLooks 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.

Isn’t SerpAPI about scraping Google through residential proxies as a service ?

If something was built by violating TOS' and you use that to do more TOS violations against the ones who initially did the TOS violations to build the thing, do they cancel out each other?
Not about GPT-OSS specifically, but say you used Gemma for the same purpose instead for this hypothetical.
