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!

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

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

Why don't men find fat women attractive?

Here’s the proof :

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

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?
