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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

What was your first impression of The Carter V by Lil Wayne? Did it feel like 2008 Wayne, when you heard the first few songs.

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

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):

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

What should I do? I'm 17 and I'm dating a 23-year-old guy.

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

Why do almost all vertebrates have tails, but not apes and frogs?

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

To the reader/asker:

Here’s the proof :

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

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

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