Iāve bashed my head against a wall with Geminiā¦ It very quickly got the following script right, which checks for artist backlinks (for instance on VA albums):
// ==UserScript==

this.$ = this.jQuery = jQuery.noConflict(true);

const observer = new MutationObserver((mutations) => {

But we are at something like v70 trying to get something to work for RYM artist pages/releases (to match to MB release groups)!
I recently got side tracked arguing with Gemini about why it keeps adding āFinalā to the script names when it knows damn well itās doubtful that v71 is suddenly going to work* 
Maybe you are better at giving prompts @chaban? Teach me your waysā¦
I am also curious, what did you mean by āuploaded an example artist pageā? And āpointed it at the murdos repoā? I have been feeding it URLās but Iām unclear how much it scrapes/takes from them
*this is a joke btw peeps, Iām aware that LLM doesnāt āknowā anything
