Well! So... I asked ChatGPT if it was familiar with Remind, and it said
"Yes, sure" and told me a bit about it.
So I wrote:
My trash collection day occurs every second Wednesday starting from
2025-01-14. However, if the Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of that week
is a public holiday, it gets moved to the following Thursday. Please
make a Remind script that follows those rules.
And the result it gave me was (appropriately?) utter trash. :)

It does manage to lie fairly convincingly, almost as if it does know Remind.
Regards,
Dianne.
