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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

People Can Fly cancels 2 games including Square Enix project - Video Games Chronicle

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

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

WA woman sues hospital system after painful recovery; nurse may have stolen her meds - The Seattle Times

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

Here’s the proof :

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

Are today’s baseball pitchers faster than a few years ago, or is it that radar guns have improved and get the pitch speed as it is released rather than as it reaches the plate?

To the reader/asker:

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):

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:

Brad Marchand's mom goes nuts after his Game 2 heroics as Panthers star offers cheeky response - New York Post

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

Wasn't it a good timely decision by the Modi government in hindsight to ban TikTok in India after witnessing how TikTok and Red note has become a headache for the government in the US to deal with?

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
