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

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 ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

Here’s the proof :

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?
