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):

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Black holes don’t behave as we thought, study finds - The Brighter Side of News

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

Do you think most people would rather be a certain race or are most people happy with the race they are?

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:

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

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

What is the purpose of using fitness supplements like protein and creatine? Do people still use them even if they consume a lot of protein-rich foods?

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):

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