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

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):

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

Here’s the proof :

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

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

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

Why does Trump keep blaming Ukraine for getting invaded by Russia?

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
