1. Unrealistic Suggestions:
Let me address this directly—what exactly do you mean by "integrating computer vision techniques to identify elements based on their visual properties rather than DOM attributes"? You’re suggesting taking screenshots, using Selenium, and analyzing them with ChatGPT to extract data.
This approach would require an entirely new system, including integrating advanced AI and computer vision techniques. Not only is this far beyond the scope of the original agreement, but it’s also an impractical and convoluted solution. Let’s not forget that ChatGPT and similar tools face Cloudflare protection, which many developers struggle to bypass. Suggesting this method is simply unrealistic and doesn’t align with the initial project expectations.
2. Constantly Adding New Terms:
It’s also worth noting that you’re introducing new requirements day by day—features and approaches that were never part of our initial agreement. The script was delivered to you approximately a month ago and met the specifications we agreed upon. Suddenly demanding complex AI integration or XPath-based dynamic scraping is like changing the rules after the game has ended.
If these advanced techniques were so important to you, they should have been discussed and agreed upon before the project began, not after delivery.
3. Dynamic Nature of Scraping and Updates:
As explained before, scraping platforms like Facebook comes with its own challenges. The delivered script worked perfectly at the time of delivery, using methods that you approved during the development process. Changes made by Facebook since then are beyond anyone’s control and are a known risk with scraping.
That said, as I’ve mentioned previously, we will be updating the script for you this time only, despite our initial agreement not including after-sales support. We have already provided updates in the past out of goodwill, and this update will be done to ensure the script works as expected. However, no baseless arguments or new requests—such as using ChatGPT or implementing AI-based scraping—will be entertained. These demands are simply unreasonable and impractical.
Once this update is provided, it will conclude our commitment to this project.
4. Conclusion:
Let’s be clear:
The script was delivered as agreed and worked as intended.
We have already provided updates out of goodwill, and we will ensure it’s updated again for you this one last time.
Your new demands for AI, computer vision, and advanced scraping techniques are entirely outside the original agreement.
We are happy to assist with this update to ensure the script works for you, but no further after-sales support will be provided, as it was never part of the original terms. Let’s stay focused on resolving the issue rather than introducing brainless arguments that deviate from the scope of our agreement.
