    I sent this article to GPT-4 and asked what the change actually means:

    If a wetland has a clear and continuous surface water connection to a larger water body (like a river or lake), it remains protected. But if it’s isolated or its connection to larger waters is not continuously visible (like a swamp that might feed into a river only during certain seasons or conditions), it loses its federal protection.
