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

Here’s the proof :

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

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

What is the experience of wearing a school uniform every day? Do people typically get used to it or dislike it?
