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):

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):

What was your best experience of having your navel touched?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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:

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang says he's waiting for Elon Musk's Neuralink before he has kids - Business Insider

To the reader/asker:

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

Seattle Mariners vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Results, Stats, and Recap - June 9, 2025 Gametracker - CBS Sports

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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