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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

We now told, by Senator Grassley, that on the FBI form about the Biden bribery story, there is a Burisma exec who says he has 17 tapes of his deal with the Biden. 15 of Hunter and 2 of Joe Biden? What would this do to Hunter/Joe Biden if released?

Why are Republican politicians so afraid to oppose Trump?

What type of sex do women prefer, oral, anal, or vaginal?

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