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

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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!

Yankees will have to find ninth-inning serenity in Luke Weaver’s absence - New York Post

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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

What kinds of books should a 19 years old girl read?

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

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

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:

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):

Here’s the proof :

Are evolutionists giving evolution a bad name by claiming humans started off as shrews?

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