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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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!

Clint Eastwood Shades Era of Remakes: Do Something New or Stay at Home - Variety

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

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

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:

The human genome is stored on this tiny crystal disk, hoping future visitors will 'de-extinct' us - Earth.com

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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):

Ex-NBA coach P.J. Carlesimo crushes Knicks over Tom Thibodeau firing: ‘Their own worst enemy’ - New York Post

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

To the reader/asker:

What is it like to be the slave in a mistress-slave relationship?

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

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

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

Why do Americans and foreigners alike describe the USA as prudish? Why do I see nothing prudish about the USA society? USA feels like one of the loosest countries although Americans claim to be very reserved.

Here’s the proof :

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?
