Hey! I’m the creator of www.autoregex.xyz (@gd3kr on twitter) I originally built it as a small side project in a couple days, I was absolutely not expecting a response this massive. I realise concerns about email and password sign up, and I built it in an hour-ish with firebase auth as a temporary solution to capping the sudden surge in GPT3 requests to the server after the twitter post gained traction. Im working on a better approach to that involving not having to create an account. Otherwise, all suggestions are absolutely welcome. Please tell me how I can make this a better experience for everyone.

You could probably include a ‘Why do I need to sign up?’ disclaimer.

Was curious to try it, but got turned off when asked to create an account, and didn't bother.

Two of your three examples are incorrect as they're missing backslashes. /^nw*g$/i should be /^n\w*g$/i and (?=.*d) should be (?=.*\d).

So I was talking to a friend about this, and he thought this was a parody because of all the obviously incorrect results you were highlighting in the Twitter thread. Other people have mentioned the \ escapes going missing, but my friend called out https://twitter.com/gd3kr/status/1545495732265766913 https://twitter.com/gd3kr/status/1545495732265766913 as so hilariously wrong that it couldn't have been anything other than a parody. Is this really a parody, or is it just another example of people not actually reading GPT-3 output carefully enough to notice it's nonsense?

  Hey, no it’s not a parody lmao. I shipped it because realised it could have at least some utility while building it. To be fair, the wrong examples would be an oversight on my part, but I thought of them being more of genuine benchmark of what GPT3 was capable of; sort of like an experimental feature. I’m working hard on refining the results by fine tuning DaVinci and getting the output as close to ideal as possible — I think there’s a lot of potential there. In the end, even boosting a user’s productivity marginally is a win in my book, and as a lot of people have pointed out, it’s already doing that to some extent.
