  • You’re dictating to and micromanaging an algorithm. Cringe individuals would refer to themselves as “Prompt Engineers” or something like that.

    Instead of actually writing the code and understanding what each function actually does, you’re basically just skimming whatever the output is. You’re not gaining experience in programming by doing that and you may not be aware of what exactly everything does. Could be harmless until something unexpected starts causing issues.

    For your specific case, an LLM seems completely overkill. I’ve also setup my desktop monitors to change brightness via a couple keyboard shortcuts using ControlMyMonitor and AutoHotkey. It’s like 10 lines of code.
