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

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

To the reader/asker:

Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

King & Queen of the Ring tournament brackets revealed - Cageside Seats

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
