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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

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

Is it possible to legally adopt a family member?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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:

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

How are Hinduism and Sikhism related, considering they both originated in Punjab, India?

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
