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?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Here’s the proof :

After 19 Years of Trying, She's Pregnant—Thanks to AI - Newser

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):

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

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

4 things are making us sick, new MAHA documentary says. What the research says - CNN

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Eius sequi culpa animi quod delectus deleniti deserunt.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

Will Colapinto replace Doohan as second driver at Alpine Team during the 2025 season or is just a rumour of Argentine press?

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:

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

To the reader/asker:

How did Kate Mulgrew feel about Jeri Ryan joining the cast of Star Trek: Voyager?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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