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

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

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

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

Why cant I feel anything in my sleep? I cannot even feel myself moving, breathing, and swallowing saliva! I cannot even hear anything, not even my alarm! Some people that I've been with says that I'm moving a lot in my sleep, how can I stop it?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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 your wildest experience in Bangalore that you haven’t told anyone?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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:

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

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

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

To the reader/asker:

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

NASA sets new potential launch date for Ax-4 mission to ISS - SpaceNews

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?

I haven’t eaten junk food for weeks, I ate dirty all-day yesterday, but I can’t even workout, why am I so tired?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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