Curious how well ChatGPT could write css selectors for these no code scrapers.

If running the model was cheaper I would even say run the whole page through ChatGPT and ask it to format the information on the page for you.

Already tried that. Not worth it with the current token limitations.

But I'm currently tinkering with other applications of AI and MrScraper. Will ship something when I think it's reliable enough.

I haven't looked at many web scrapers. Do most use CSS selectors? What about xpath? I always found xpath to be much more powerful.
