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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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 ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

Do you consider masturbating to porn cheating if you are married?

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Why is my ex still keeping in touch with me even though she dumped me?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Mountaineers Walk Off Kentucky in NCAA Opener - West Virginia University Athletics

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

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):

Solar Stocks Dive As Senate Bill Keeps Cuts To Solar, Wind Energy Incentives - Investor's Business Daily

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 //):

Here’s the proof :

What is the purpose of using fitness supplements like protein and creatine? Do people still use them even if they consume a lot of protein-rich foods?

To the reader/asker:

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

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