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!

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

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

Why cant a narcissist admit when they are wrong?

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?
