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

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

To the reader/asker:

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

All about the ‘2 per 20’ rule believed to stabilise blood sugar without exercise - The Indian Express

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

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):

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

The Y chromosome is disappearing, and this fact is already causing problems for men - Earth.com

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

What’s one positive trait you’ve gained because of BPD?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

SpaceX launches human remains, reentry capsules and more on Transporter 14 rideshare mission - Space

Here’s the proof :

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:

I’m British and I'm hella bummed about it. Wish I was American or even Canadian, ’cause let’s be real, Canada’s gonna end up part of the States anyway. What should I do?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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