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

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

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

Here’s the proof :

Do other British people agree that the UK should reconquer Ireland?

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

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):
