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

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):

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

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:

What are the top 5 star Michelin restaurants near Pompano Beach, Florida?

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

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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):

Here’s the proof :

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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