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

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):

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:

Why do some films seem to date/age so badly?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

How often should you forgive someone for hurting you? At what point should you cut ties?

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Drinking this amount of water per day helps control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes - Earth.com

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Taking five minutes a day to do this can improve happiness, study finds - San Francisco Chronicle

To the reader/asker:

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

Here’s the proof :

With the 34 indictments being proved to be fake by admission on CNN, what do Democrats have now? You can’t keep yelling he’s a felon. What other lies do you have?

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

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