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

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

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:

Would you let your partner cheat on you every now and again?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Here’s the proof :

To the reader/asker:

I have a bad reputation and need help. What should I do?

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

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

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