LPT: ChatGPT is incredible for generating and evaluating regex

BenLloydPearson@programming.dev to Programming@programming.dev – 242 points –

I have to use a ton of regex in my new job (plz save me), and I use ChatGPT for all of it. My job would be 10x harder if it wasn't for ChatGPT. It provides extremely detailed examples and warns you of situations where the regex may not perform as expected. Seriously, try it out.

Thanks for this post, I use regex a often and did not know gpt would be good at this..

That's the problem. It will confidently give you an correct sounding answer.

If it is actually true is a different topic. So don't just blindly trust it. Verify, or at least sanity check it.

This this this!!! I know this is a post from the place that shall not be named, but it just showcases the issues with ChatGPT (this is from when GPT4 was just released)
