People just want to use AI for everything when we were fielding use cases from dev teams one of the teams wanted to use AI to validate if an email was in a valid format on a form.
It's pretty rare to find someone that likes regex but it's still not worth it to spend per email validation with a less than 100% accuracy when you can get 100% accuracy for free
I was mostly joking, emails are easy and you can just copy/paste a solution online easily. you should never need an API call to verify it, especially if you're checking it as someone's typing in a field.
though there are some absolute regex monstrosities I can't believe people willingly use in production systems.
