Why use diffchecker when there’s a perfectly good LLM you could ask right there? lol

because a lot of LLMs will just eat tokens to call a diffchecker.

really it becomes a question of whether or not the friction of invoking the command or the cost of tokens is greater.

as I get older and more rsi'd the tokens seem cheaper.

Not sarcasm, just a little joke. I thought the emote at the end would prevent it from being taken seriously. . .

Make it semi deterministic with structured/constrained generation!
