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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Do women really cheat more than men?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

How long did it take you to get used to your CPAP machine?

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

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

Here’s the proof :

To the reader/asker:

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

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:

Geologists Just Cracked Open a 500-Million-Year Mystery in the Grand Canyon — What They Found Is Rewriting Earth’s History - Indian Defence Review

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):

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

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

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