I literally copy the whole stack dump from the log, and paste it into the LLM (I find that ChatGPT does a better job than Claude), along with something along the lines of:

> I am getting occasional crashes on my iOS 17 or above UIKit program. Given the following stack trace, what problem do think it might be?

I will attach the source file, if I think I know the general area, along with any symptoms and steps to reproduce. One of the nice things about an LLM, is that it's difficult to overwhelm with too much information (unlike people).

It will usually respond with a fairly detailed analysis. Usually, it has some good ideas to use as starting points.

I don't think "I have a bug. Please fix it." would work, though. It's likely to try, but caveat emptor.

I wonder if we’ll be seeing tools that do this.

I could see Apple or Microsoft, building it into their IDEs.

But, as was noted elsewhere, I think it’s only useful as an advisor. I think a lot of folks look at LLMs as some kind of programmer replacement.

There's a huge difference between using an LLM to assist you versus letting it just do all the work for you. Your implication that they're the same, and that the previous commenter let the LLM do the work, is lazy.

ChrisMarshallNY only said they fed the dump into the LLM. They said nothing about using the LLM to write the fix.

Nope.

Good result == LLM + Experience.

The LLM just reduces the overhead.

That’s really what every “new paradigm” has ever done.
