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

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):

Here’s the proof :

Which race of women are the hottest?

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

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

To the reader/asker:

Most people aren’t following this important dietary advice. Are you? - The Washington Post

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

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:

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Eli Lilly’s Obesity Pill Appears to Work as Well as Injected GLP-1s - WIRED

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

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):

Simone Biles calls Riley Gaines 'sick' over criticism of transgender athletes - NBC News

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

How does Bollywood influence Indian culture?

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