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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

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

Do Republicans realize that the power of the people is invested in 'representative government'? If so, why did they elect a pathological liar?

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:

What are some innovative business ideas for leveraging AI in 2024?

To the reader/asker:

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

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