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

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

Here’s the proof :

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):

What is something you have to share?

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

How do people who are deaf learn sign language? Is it typically taught by parents at a young age or are there programs available for learning it later in life?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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