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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

What symptoms did you notice before being diagnosed with cancer?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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