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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

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

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

How can I control my daily masturbating habit?

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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