> See, these two things seem at odds to me. I suppose it is, to a degree, knowledge that you can learn over time: that an LLM is suitable for renaming files but not for certain other tasks. But for me, I'd be really cautious about letting an AI rename a collection of files, to the point that the same restrictions apply as would apply to a script: I'd need to create the prompt, verify the output via a dry run or test run, modify as necessary, and ultimately let the AI loose and hope for the best.
Why? I never understand this level of caution since don't we all use VC? Just feed it the prompt and if it messes up undo the changes.
As another commenter suggested, this only works for some workflows. I'd also argue it kind of undermines the idea that an LLM can do this work better than a script.
