Note: Some users install Intel's graphics drivers manually to enable the Intel graphics panel settings. While many users conflate the two, disabling auto-brightness won't solve this behavior if it bothers you. Unfortunately, while you can easily disable adaptive brightness under Settings > System > Display > Change brightness automatically when lighting changes there is no easy way to disable adaptive contrast. You should see the screen slowly and smoothly dim and shift contrast. To simulate the effect, go into a dark room, and open Microsoft Word (or anything with a white background) then switch to an app that is all black like Settings (if dark mode is enabled).

The effect is most noticeable at night when you tend to have a lower display brightness because you're in a dark room. The feature is standard on modern TVs and high-end gaming monitors, but it can also be a source of frustration for some.
