To the reader/asker:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

What essential items would you need to survive and be comfortable if you had to live in a small space like a closet?

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

My wife found I had been on Pornhub. She considers this adultery and wants a divorce. She hasn't touched me in over 6 years. What should I do?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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):

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

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

Why do unattractive men assume that a pretty woman like me want them?

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

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

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