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

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Who's your celebrity crush?

To the reader/asker:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Tourists break crystal-covered chair at Italian museum: "Every museum's nightmare has come true" - CBS News

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

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

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

How do you know when someone really loves you?

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

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

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

Is homosexuality an excommunicable offense in Christianity?

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):

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:

How do you dry your hair fast?

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 :

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