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

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

How do so-called Religious/Christian people really think homosexuality is even a sin? That would be nonsense. In fact, LGBT people need love instead of contempt/hatred. The word Homosexual didn't appear until the 1850s.
