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

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

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:

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

Trump faces backlash from Maga base after strikes on Iran - Financial Times

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

What happens if a parent refuses to let their child be transgender? What happens if the parent tries their hardest not to allow their child to be trans, like flushing every bottle of their trans child's HRT down the toilet?

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

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

Here’s the proof :

Why is Taylor Swift voting for Kamala Harris?

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

To the reader/asker:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Does the rest of the world see America as a joke now that Trump is president again?

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

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):

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

What was your worst experience while living with roommates?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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