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

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Do you think AI language models like Claude AI will ever be able to truly match someone's unique writing style?

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
