I have found chatgpt to be very good at writing regex. I also don't know how to write regex.
In my experience, it is good at simple to medium complexity regex. For the harder ones it starts being quite useless though, at best providing a decent starting point to begin debugging from.
well, you won't get better using chatgpt for it
