If It's Not Buggy, Don't Fix It: On the Dynamics of Iterative Bug-fixing with LLMs
This report explores the iterative blind use of LLMs as bug-fixers, and unveils the existence of a steering vector which controls the editing propensity, suggesting that LLMs have an internal representation of ``buggy code", and that this representation is what is falsely activated to induce pseudo-bug fixing.
