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.

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

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:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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):
