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

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

To the reader/asker:

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

Could Patriots cut Stefon Diggs and owe him nothing? It’s complicated. - NBC Sports

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

Here’s the proof :

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Mets and Dodgers are more than living up to heavyweight billing - New York Post

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Oh Yeah, Ginny & Georgia Is About Murder - Vulture

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

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):

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

Scientists stunned to observe that humpback whales might be trying to talk to us - ZME Science

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

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:

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