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

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):

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

Here’s the proof :

This is a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

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

To the reader/asker:

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

Is there any way to simulate the effect of a sauna or steam room on the body from one's own home?

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

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

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:

Apple Loop: iPhone 17 Pro Release Date, Apple Challenges AI Assumptions, iPad Pro Multitasking Explained - Forbes

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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