IMO it’s a “language” you need to understand in order to use.

Just like you wouldn’t copy/paste any random snippet into your source code if you don’t understand exactly what it does.

I see a lot of broken regex at work from people who use regular expressions but don’t understand them (for various reasons).

It used to come with a “found this on stackoverflow”-excuse, but mostly now it’s “AI told me to use this” instead.
