The AI labs already figured it out:
1) reverse engineer the code 2) train a model on the code 3) use the model to write the clean code
Step 2 is the key “cleaning” process
So maybe a good strategy would be to use something like REA, put it on GitHub, wait for the LLMs to train on it, then just use the frontier models
/s
I prefer the word *laundering
LLM's have already trained on similar enough code
Even better, 1 and 2 done, just move to 3 and profit
