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

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

Here’s the proof :

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

Do people really never face any hidden costs or surprises with surgeries in countries with single-payer healthcare like the NHS?

Why are people saying that Trump is fat when he is an athletic 6 foot 3 and 215 pounds?

How long before AI can deliver an over-the-shoulder shot of a face in a film?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
