Chris Place had his pride and joy nabbed, so turned to ChatGPT after police closed the case.

Hopefully you find and recover your bike.
Then with the help of AI you can send in the drone recovery team complete with RoboCop 😄.

Been thinking I want to learn Python. Maybe I just need this Beautiful Soup instead.

Really hope you get your bike back.

As the headline is a question... I'm going with no, it can't.

Has it worked? “No hits yet..."

Sorry, that made me laugh - was expecting the article to be a fully accomplished good news story. Good luck finding it.

Otherwise, it sounds like my job for years trying to get scripts to work before realising I'd entirely manufactured the requirements for it.

Have you tested it using pictures / a vagueish description of a bike that is listed on one of those sites?
Would be worth validating before relying on it doing what it says it will.

Mea culpa - you're totally right! This is indeed not a bike. It's a horse. Thanks for spotting that. Would you like me to make a bullet point list on how to identify bicycles?

Good effort, but sad to say it'll have probably ended up in two ways...

1) sold for a pittance in a pub, so no internet footprint to find.

2) stripped, frame dumped, and decent parts sold on eBay/Facebook/etc.
