I say this with respect and love to the author: it does not sound like you’re handling this just fine. I think you’re right that there’s no way to handle this just fine, and you’re right that you’ve got a very good reason for not being just

Yeah, and that’s my concern right now - I think going back ~10 years or so, the percentage of “poisoned” (and we’ll use that term as in a dataset or something - the percentage of values in this set that have been affected by the contaminant

The problem with AI generated code is there’s no unifying theory behind the change. When a human writes code and one part of the system looks weird or different, there’s usually a reason - by digging in on the underlying system, I can usual
