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

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:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

I broke up with my boyfriend because he wasn’t transparent about his past, it hurts me and he doesn’t care. I told him in the beginning of our relationship that it was a deal breaker for me what do I do?

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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 do liberals think same-sex marriage is alright? The Bible makes it very clear that it's not alright to be gay, why can't liberals understand that?

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

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

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

Adipisci omnis dolor vitae nulla explicabo tenetur.

Here’s the proof :

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

What are some recommended foods for reducing eye fatigue?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Saving Gateway, SLS and Orion? Sen. Ted Cruz proposes $10 billion more for NASA's moon and Mars efforts - Space

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

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

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