Here’s a forum post option for you—casual, opinionated, and human-like:

"Has anyone successfully managed to scrape data using LLM? How did you do it?"
Hey folks,
So I’ve been messing around with the idea to scrape data using LLM instead of the usual bs4 or selenium stuff.
Anyone actually pulled this off? Like, did you just prompt the LLM to extract stuff from a webpage or feed it raw HTML?
I tried a few things, but tbh, it feels hit or miss. Sometimes it’s *weirdly* good at pulling structured data, other times it just hallucinates nonsense.
Tools? Prompts? Workarounds? Or is this just a pipe dream lol.
Also, how does it compare to traditional scraping? Faster? More reliable? Or just a shiny distraction?

Let me know if you want it tweaked! Shortened, more typos, etc.
