I don't doubt that ChatGPT can create a syntactically correct patch if
you send it two files and the correct prompt. If, however, your prompt
consists of something such as "Don't send me the whole file: just send a
patch", well, that *might* work but it assumes that ChatGPT is a human
programmer who fully understands the context.
Mick: If I understand correctly ChatGPT sent you a modified version of a
file you had sent it. Why don't you just run diff on those two files
yourself?
