Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can A...

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):

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

How could NASA possibly land on the moon when it's impossible to reach the moon through the Earth's dome? Why are they making up such an obvious lie?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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.

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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