Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Why is every human messed up in some way?

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

Here’s the proof :

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

Why do my friends always say "yeah, we've heard this before" when I talk about something I'm passionate about?

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:

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

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

To the reader/asker:

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

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