Idea: Humanize Links

[SomeOtherGod]

ChatGPT often adds an utm_source to links.
For example "https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BorgWarner?utm_source=chatgpt.com".
It would be great if humanize-ai-lib could also remove this.

Something like this could work:

url.replace(/(\?|&)utm_source=[^&]*&?/, (match, p1) => (p1 === '?' ? '?' : ''))
   .replace(/[?&]$/, '');

Random, but I have news (unsure how good) for you:

I hate UTM links as well, but I feel like removing them is not enough, there is no downside to people who leverage them for analytics, etc., if we simply remove them. What is funny, though, is that UTM links-by design-have no validation. The website always loads.

• For this reason, I made utm-randomizer: a repo/chrome extension to replace UTM parameters with random salient values, which will cause issues in their advertising analytics (unless they put in effort to remove these like humans have to remove their tracking) ☺️
• example link that was transformed: https://soundcloud.com/tnght/the-full-uncensored-mix?in=aggs93%2Fsets%2Fssd&si=9c62deae8b44446fa50f857bb69eb4a7&utm_source=rubber-duck&utm_medium=trained-squirrels&utm_campaign=project-anti-tracking

repo is not perfect btw, contributions welcome.

to be a bit more helpful if you only want to clean UTM params and other stuff off links: Brave and some other browsers have Copy Clean Link when you right click on any link, so there should be implementations floating around.
