ChatGPT drew me up plans to build a Dyson sphere (actually a swarm), which I published yesterday, but thinking about it! How do you transmit that energy to earth to use?

Well that happens already in the form of light waves.

So that got me thinking, instead of a Dyson sphere, why not place orbiting mirrors to reflect more of the sunlight to the earth. Much cheaper and easier to do and something that is probably achievable within my lifetime.

There are proposals to make Mars more habitual using such tech, mirrors don't have to be thick or with much mass. If the mirrors are large enough you could make even Pluto habital...

They could be as thin as aluminium foil, or even thinner!
