To be fair it's exactly the type of stuff I'd be glad if I never have to think about again.

Go down by half of user traffic, go up 10x of crawler traffic.

Built a scheduler with pretty much all my moment/moment-tz questions answered through ChatGPT. One of the things it excels at, crawling long lived API documentation, answers, etc.
