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

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

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

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):
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
What does success really mean to you? Is it about happiness, money, or something else?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
