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

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.

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

If the United States leaves the EU to fend for themselves in the economy and NATO, could Europe become irrelevant in the global economy compare to China and America dominance in the world stage in AI and semiconductors? Will Europe become cash poor?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Do conservative white women like black men?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Death threats to Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. came from "overseas" resident - NBC Sports

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

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.

At least 45 Palestinians killed while waiting for aid trucks in Gaza, health officials say - AP News

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

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):

Should Democrats be worried, Supreme Court rules Trump immune from criminal prosecution for 'official acts'?

To the reader/asker:

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