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

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

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

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

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

Cole? Kyle? Whatever the name, M's thrilled to see Young arrive in majors - The Seattle Times

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

Here’s the proof :

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Pocono starting lineup: Denny Hamlin becomes oldest Cup pole winner since 2017 - NBC Sports

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):

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Strange signals detected from Antarctic ice seem to defy laws of physics. Scientists are searching for an answer - Yahoo

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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:

Man called in bomb threat after missing flight at Detroit Metro Airport, feds say - The Detroit News

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

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

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

Why is the left keep misrepresenting what Trump said about his daughter? When asked if he would date her if he weren’t her father, it simply reflected pride in raising a smart, respectful, and loving daughter with good morals all men want that no?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
