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

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

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 ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Star-shaped brain cells may underpin the brain's massive memory storage - Live Science

Here’s the proof :

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:

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):

Bettor banned for heckling Olympic star Thomas - ESPN

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

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.

How do you know how physically attractive you actually are?

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Did you know that we white women prefer Black boyfriends?

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

To the reader/asker:

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

Sunt explicabo sunt omnis eveniet enim et.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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