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.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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):

Smell and sight can spot Parkinson’s disease years earlier, study finds - The Brighter Side of News

Why after 50 years of being straight do I constantly desire to suck cock?

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

Has anyone ever really waited that long and gotten a paper check mailed 20 days ago?

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

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

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

What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

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:

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