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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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

What is the Replika app, and how does it work?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

What do feminists mean when they say they want to ‘normalize’ menstruation and its discussion?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

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):

Recovering from surgery isn’t easy. Exercising in the water can help. - The Washington Post

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

Here’s the proof :

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

Qui eaque occaecati facere et.

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