A prototype is available, though it’s Chrome-only and English-only at the moment. How this’ll work is you select some text and then click on the extension, which will try to “return the relevant quote and inference for the user, along with links to article and quality signals”.

How this works is it uses ChatGPT to generate a search query, utilizes WP’s search API to search for relevant article text, and then uses ChatGPT to extract the relevant part.

    “Inconvenience” would be the verb for causing an inconvenience. So in the sentence you’re going for, “inconvene” would have to be replaced with the passive “be inconvenienced” (“we’ve gotta be inconvenienced and grovel to google a bit”). I don’t believe we have a separate word for “endure an inconvenience”, although it seems like the kind of thing some languages might have a single word for. Stylistically I’d probably restructure the sentence to “we’ve gotta put up with the inconvenience” rather than just using the passive verb, but yeah.

    I think you’d most often see this verb in the stock phrase “Sorry to inconvenience you”.

      Well, I was looking for something along the lines of “inconvene ourselves”. Thanks for the insight and writeup for a random internet bookperson.
