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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

What are some ways to identify and avoid logical fallacies, such as straw man and red herring, in an argument?

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

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