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?

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

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

Fake flight attendant took 120 free flights before arrest at SFO, officials say - SFGATE

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

Here’s the proof :

Fed Chair hit with savage message on interest rates - TheStreet

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:

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Physicists capture 'second sound' for the first time — after nearly 100 years of searching - Live Science

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

To the reader/asker:

How can one determine if a K-pop star is truly talented? Why do some people assume that all K-pop stars are equally talented solely based on their fame without any evidence?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Non distinctio minus inventore tempora repudiandae mollitia.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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