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

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

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

What is the most unwatchable movie you have sat through?

What are some effective strategies for getting more upvotes on Quora?

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

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

What do you think, TikTok is nothing but another porn site? Do you agree or not? Why?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
