Or maybe I've just been watching too much Better Call Saul?

Tell it to Teddy ...

'Their process, which they've dubbed ChatRepair, not only tests patches, but learns from previous failures, in a paper titled "Keep the Conversation Going: Fixing 162 out of 337 bugs for $0.42 each using ChatGPT."'

... But I'll bet it still has some way to go to match the efficacy of solving bugs by chatting to a teddy bear.
