  That's even worse. They might not have the knowledge to realize the regex an AI gives them is bunk, or to debug it when it fails. I'd like to see some numbers on a tool like this. If a huge majority of people are seeing genuine improvements in their workflow with it, I won't be a luddite yelling at them. Rare, low-severity failures shouldn't hold us back. But the potential cost of failure with (any) regex is very high, so I personally wouldn't want to trust any remotely mission-critical to a person who doesn't understand regex well enough to write it themself, and if they can write it on their own that's often faster than debugging AI-generated regex.
