OpenCV is no longer hard to use, it just takes longer. Still, a little more complicated than asking LLM to count. To use an LLM, you just prompt it with an image + text saying "count the pills in this image". To use OpenCV, ... you just prompt an LLM with an image + text saying "count the pills in this image, using OpenCV instead of eyeballing it". (I like to throw in "produce intermediary artifacts so I can see the process" for more difficult tasks; this helps the model avoiding making hallucination-prone leaps and gives more opportunities to self-correct. At a cost of extra time and tokens, of course.) Using OpenCV without an LLM? Nah, not touching that, I don't have free weekends to waste anymore.
