How much, you ask? The answer to everything is $0.42

Boffins at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have enlisted ChatGPT, the OpenAI chatbot that responds to written instructions, to repair software bugs without breaking the bank.

Traditional APR techniques, they explain in their paper, tend to produce patches that lack variety and require lots of manual fine-tuning. More recent work with LLMs has produced better results but still used the same underlying technique - generating a lot of patches from an initial input sample and then validating each one.

Xia and Zhang have developed an automated bug repair process they call ChatRepair that incorporates information about software test failures and that learns from conversational input, as well as successes and failures, along the way. It's a bit more complicated than saying,"Fix your bugs, HAL" – as can be seen from the illustration accompanying the paper – but it's perhaps preferable to a cryptic error message.
