Sure, here is the proofread and improved version of your text:

This is a good question and one I hadn't even considered while tinkering with this project. There isn't a "comparison set" per se, but the GPT-4o API has a knowledge cutoff date of October 2023. This might seem problematic for adding newer sets to your collection, but this is where large language models, especially multi-modal ones like GPT-4o, really shine.
As an experiment, I downloaded this picture and fed it into the script:
The results were quite interesting given the October 2023 cutoff. This is what was returned (apologies for the JSON format; the script's prompt requests the response to be formatted this way):
{
"card_name": "Leonardo da Vinci",
"set_code": "ACR",
"set_name": "Alchemy Horizons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms",
"card_number": 20,
"foil": "no"
}
Not perfect, but pretty good all things considered! More information can be returned, but this is all the current prompt in the script asks for. Even though the set isn't released , this would be good enough to accurately populate the CSV. I haven't done this yet, but I plan to modify the script so that it compares the set code from the card with the official deckbox sets and editions list (https://deckbox.org/editions). This would ensure the generated CSV isn't considered invalid due to minor discrepancies between official set names/codes and what's used on Deckbox. Another benefit of doing it this way is that the script would only need to return the card name, card number, and set code to generate an accurate CSV, meaning as soon as the set is added to Deckbox, it would function properly.
There is another OpenAI endpoint, the "Assistants" endpoint, that I'd eventually like to move this project over to. The Assistants endpoint would be better for this project for several reasons, but one of the more interesting ones is that the responses aren't limited by the knowledge cutoff of the language model. The Assistants endpoint allows several different "tools" to be called, one of which is the ability to search the internet. Sending the same prompt as above to the Assistants endpoint and giving it permission to search returns the following response:
{
"card_name": "Leonardo da Vinci",
"set_code": "ACR",
"set_name": "Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed",
"card_number": "20",
"foil": "no"
}
Completely accurate information for a set that isn't even out yet. And that's not all—you can prompt it to return a wealth of information. Your imagination is the limit:
{
"card_details": {
"card_name": "Leonardo da Vinci",
"set_code": "ACR",
"set_name": "Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed",
"card_number": 20,

"subtype": "Human Artificer",
"mana_cost": "{2}{U}",
"converted_mana_cost": 3,
"rarity": "Mythic Rare",
"text": [
"{3}{U}{U}: Until end of turn, Thopters you control have base power and toughness X/X, where X is the number of cards in your hand.",
"{2}{U}, {T}: Draw a card, then discard a card. If the discarded card was an artifact card, exile it from your graveyard. If you do, create a token that’s a copy of it, except it’s a 0/2 Thopter artifact creature with flying in addition to its other types."

Long story short, this project could be easily modified to fulfill nearly any purpose, and the information would be available at the same time (or possibly before) it's available on Scryfall. Anyhow, I'd like to move this project to the Assistants API in the future, but this is my first time working with Python and APIs, and the Assistants API is a bit more complicated to use than the basic GPT-4o one. Hopefully, I can do this sometime soon!
Ultimately, there are apps and websites out there that can scan cards faster and with less effort. I'm just having fun with this project because I wanted to explore using AI and Python, and this is what I landed on. Thanks for checking it out!
