Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can A...

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

Here’s the proof :

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

Why do liberals and Democrats think it’s “ironic” for Donald Trump to say “We have to get back to law and order”?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Why is it that women are stronger than men nowadays?

To the reader/asker:

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?
