I doubt anyone can write complex regex in ~30 seconds, LLM's can
You have definitely never worked with a regex guru.
No, but not everyone is a regex guru.
If AI can write code half as good and fast as a regex guru, it's going to increase the average dev's productivity a lot
does the regex search for what you wanted to? Does it work in all cases? Can I be confident that it will find all instances i care about, or will I still have to comb the code manually?
