Regex's are not something you need AI for as there are already tools that explain them for you. Use regexr.com or a similar tool.

I've begun to understand that the modern meaning of an apostrophe is "oh shit! Here comes an 's'".

Sadly, I am gradually growing okay with that idea.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's a bad habit I've picked up!

____ are not something you need AI for as there are already tools that explain ____ for you. Use Wikipedia or a similar tool.

I don't agree that AI has no uses, you just have to know when to use it. There are multiple times I have scoured documentation and official forums of a niche tool to few results only to ask ChatGPT and get far closer to my goal in 2 minutes than I did in 30. I know the AI has to be getting that info from somewhere, but if Google, Reddit, and a forum search can't find it then I am sorry but I am going to ask an AI.

Yeha, also anything else has plenty of books and internet content on them so you really don't need AI for those too.

Groups multiple tokens together and creates a capture group for extracting a substring or using a backreference

With an explanation like this, I thing I'll take the AI.
