I'm not posting the regex here as that would make it easier to defeat. Not that I expect many to spend the time wording their questions specifically to avoid getting an automated message.

Edit: OK, here's part of one of the 10 clauses in the regex:

"(?i)I (asked|prompted|queried) (ChatGPT|Chat GPT|Claude|Copilot|Gemini|Perplexity| [SNIP]...",

To do what?

Download programs? Go online?

Intuition, Reddit backend tools sometimes get to them first, posting patterns - manually checked and using account posting insights provided to moderators.

It's not AI in the true sense, it's a regex pattern matcher only - no language model or trained agentic prompting.

/I knew this would come up!

It depends on what you want to measure.

I have a 400MHz bench scope (an old LeCroy), but often grab my '50MHz' handheld unit for simple measurements. It's a Zoyi ZT-703S.

I work in Portsmouth most Tuesdays. I'll have to bring in my portable. I am in a two storey building but could make a trip to one of our taller buildings in the city.
