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

And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):

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