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

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:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Why has my ex moved on so fast after years of being together with me?

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

Here’s the proof :

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

To the reader/asker:

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

Do empaths fall easier for abusive people?

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

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

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):

Why did Kamala say immigrants eating cats isn’t real when there’s police bodycam footage of it happening?

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

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

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