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

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):

Here’s the proof :

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

To the reader/asker:

What are some possible reasons for an unfaithful spouse to not confess their affair to their partner and instead end it without telling them?

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:

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):

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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