And 'truly absurd number' might still be a bit of an understatement here. Saying that Claude can generate several thousand regexes for you is not really a selling point for llms in my book.

On the other hand. Have you tried running them on the bible or something like that? I bet it finds it talks about ww2, 9-11, the nintendo wii, and shit...

If, by bible, you refer to the holy book of the local Building Code; then no, I have not.

and again; the regex in the script generated works, it's just a teeny bit cursed and maybe a little bit sentient. Praise be to the Omnissaiah, and its blessed machine.
