Re:Windows 11 calls a zip file a 'postcode file' in UK English by RheingoldRiver on Wednesday June 07, 2023 @06:20PM (#36234448)
But the LLM already "understands" the changes that need to be made. A regex to figure out if "flat" means "apartment" or not? Consider the text (which I just made up & I'm really not a fiction writer so I apologize for it being terrible):

"Oh, I live near there too! House or flat?"

Stanley hesitated. These questions were getting more and more personal. Was this her idea of casual conversation? Or was she trying to get to know him personally? Well, he thought, what could go wrong if I treat this like a conversation. "Flat," he said. And then asked a question of his own. "What kind of pop do you like?"

How are you going to decide if "flat" is talking about non-fizzy pop/soda, or a dwelling space with a regex? It's a lot closer to the word "pop."

Of course, GPT handles this perfectly https://chat.openai.com/share/fb6a56a2-749c-4e71-9506-541bb8...

Some places in America do say "pop" instead of "soda," so I'm hesitant to call it perfect...

But I'll admit I agree that this is well beyond the scope of regex.
