> write a userscript for Chrome that will replace every occurance of a word1 with word2

here's the script from ChatGPTs response:

    // ==UserScript==
    // @name         Replace Word1 with Word2
    // @namespace    your-namespace
    // @version      1.0
    // @description  Replaces every occurrence of word1 with word2
    // @match        *://*/*
    // @grant        none
    // ==/UserScript==
    
    (function() {
      'use strict';
      const word1 = "Open AI";
      const word2 = '"Open" AI';
      const regex = new RegExp(word1, "g");
      document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(regex, word2);
    })();

reassigning document.body.innerHTML like that seems like a really bad idea, this should be done using MutationObserver

Yup. It will recreate all elements. At the very least it will break event listeners which will break most sites. It will probably do about 8 other things that break many sites.
