    I don’t disagree with this hot take. But the major difference is the sheer resources needed to have an LLM in place of a “do one thing right” utility like sed. In that sense, they are incomparable.

      I mean fair.

      I guess the caveat here should be fucking learn regex first, lamo.

      Don’t use it works not necessary. Google is probably still better if you’re looking for regex for an email or something like that

      And also don’t just rely on its answer for prod.

      I think they’re arguing for having the LLM generate the regex. And I certainly would not trust an LLM to do that right.

        Yeah, it’s way more sensible to use some of the available regex utilities like this. Although it’s always funny to see what an LLM comes up with.
