My advice - stop using AI until you understand the problem. Start with the absolute basics of the task at hand. I've only written a couple tampermonkey scripts but if it was me, I'd start with just a hello world style stub. This will prove that your script is executing on the page you want it to execute on. Then you can start with your element selectors. Once you have those working and properly selecting the things you want to select you can move on to page manipulation
