It doesn't really matter if it needs to extrapolate. Whether or not you called the variable "mungus", a sufficiently powerful LLM could infer that this is the best possible name for that variable to make it understandable for humans. Doing this across the entire codebase, it could create source code that is actually more readable than the original.
Of course we're a long way off from this, but there's no reason it couldn't be done in theory.
- soulofmischief 2y agoPlease just look at my other comments because I find myself repeating myself over and over, my comment went past a lot of people's heads and they rushed towards defensiveness instead of understanding the simple, unarguable fact of life I laid out in my comment.
- Asraelite 2y agoSorry, I didn't mean to come across as disagreeing with you, I just wanted to point out what I thought was an interesting fact. Yes, the original source code is unrecoverable.
- soulofmischief 2y agoI tend to be username-blind and thought you were the person my comment replied to. Reading your comment on its own, I have no issue with it and I apologize for mistaking you for them!
