What is a code dataset? And what is AI contamination? Are you saying it's impossible to create a collection of hand-written code from here on out and know that none of it was generated by an LLM?

The implication (rightly so) is that with the advent of LLMs and their successors we'll be drowning in a bunch of AI generated garbage.

Reminds me of the pre-nuclear age steel that is required for some purposes.

It is sometimes recovered from sunken WWII ships.

I understand there is some sort of insinuation here, but without understanding the terms, it's hard to say whether it's actually true.

It’s like nanobots and the gray goo scenario, but for code.

I thought that was stack overflow...

The code dataset I’m talking about is the “Arctic Code Vault” [0].
