Ok but this is also an Ai that I would pay a 10 dollar subscription towards just to not have to hunt down what artists are taking commissions and managing prices and everything within the freelance space. I know it will never happen but God it would be nice not spending 10 hours finding an artist I like who isn't wait listing forever.

the basic problem is to have all artists who are available for commissioning announce it in one place and in a consistent way.

so it's impossible.

well, that is honestly a good use of AI scraping, to find disparate promotions and combine them

no use of ai scraping is good. now, normal scraping is useful, but not to get current information.

Wouldnt asking people to submit artists they know and to track those work if there are enough people?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"getting enough people" is always the problem. it's why so many artists are still on twitter.

Looks like we found a potential use for AI that is not only ethical, but actually useful to.

Honestly Im willing to bet you could do something like this right now. I'm going to ask chat gpt for something similar.

The only downside is that I think SEO will matter even more when going through an AI which is already a bane on online artists.

Why would you use a whole ass LLM for this when a search engine from 2002 could do the job?

have you evaluated any of these answers

Hey I'm not here to go to bat for the accuracy of LLMs, it just struck me as something that would get the result from these engines. I poked at the first couple. All the links are broken, they all lead to bad Google maps directions but googling the people in the results takes you to the websites where you can commission from them successfully. I didn't check them all but a few of them work.
