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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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):

To the reader/asker:

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

New study shows that milk consumption improves gut biodiversity and cheese reduces certain microbes - Earth.com

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

The Y chromosome is disappearing, and this fact is already causing problems for men - Earth.com

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 your best forbidden sex story that felt so right?

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.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Is Jp-shares.com a good website for crypto trading?

Here’s the proof :

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