As much as I hate to say it, the Disney I loved cherished is now dead. Looking at their upcoming movie slate it’s just remake after remake after sequel. They don’t know how to make movies anymore and they’re just milking IPs now. What happens when people are tired of IPs? Look at Marvel.

LLMs aren’t a fad, but it’s also not going to reach doomsday level intelligence any time soon. Just like old school photographers when photoshop was first released, you’ll just learn out to adapt and redefine what it means to be professional. Certain skills will die out and new ones will emerge.

SWE-Bench tainted by answer leakage; real pass rates significantly lower

SWE-Bench+: Enhanced Coding Benchmark for LLMs
Large Language Models (LLMs) in Software Engineering (SE) can offer assistance for coding. To facilitate a rigorous evaluation of LLMs in practical coding contexts, Carlos et al. introduced the SWE-bench dataset, which comprises 2,294 real-world GitHub issues and their corresponding pull requests, collected from 12 widely used Python repositories. Several impressive LLM-based toolkits recently are developed and evaluated on this dataset. However, a systematic evaluation of the quality of SWE-bench remains missing. In this paper, we addressed this gap by presenting an empirical analysis of the SWE-bench dataset. We conducted a manual screening of instances where SWEAgent + GPT-4 successfully resolved issues by comparing the model-generated patches with the actual pull requests. SWE-Agent+GPT-4 was at the top of SWE-bench leaderboard during the time of our study. Our analysis reveals some critical issues with the SWE-bench dataset: 1) 32.67% of the successful patches involve cheating as the solutions were directly provided in the issue report or the comments. We refer to as solution leakage problem. 2) 31.08% of the passed patches are suspicious patches due to weak test cases, i.e., the tests were not adequate to verify the correctness of a patch. When we filtered out these problematic issues, the resolution rate of SWE-Agent+GPT-4 dropped from 12.47% to 3.97%. We also observed that the same data quality issues also exist in the two variants of SWE-bench, i.e., SWE-bench Lite and SWE-Bench Verified. In addition, over 94% of the issues were created before LLM's knowledge cutoff dates, posing potential data leakage issues.
