Thanks Buck,

As I use regular expressions quite infrequently I asked ChatGPT to explain
it.

In my opinion, Large Language Models like ChatGPT are very good if you want to see a few pages of 'Moby Dick' written in the style of a David Letterman Top Ten List. Not so good with anything else - primarily because they are designed with the explicit intention to invent, generate, create things out of whole cloth. This means one needs to verify 100% of the output with a known reliable source.

For regexes, try a web page like https://regex101.com/
More than an explainer, sites like this let one quickly test various ideas against a test string that can be pasted in from one's own data set.

Would you agree with the description ?

Yes, this is one way to explain this particular regex.
