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.

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

What are some very specific groups of people you just cannot stand?

To the reader/asker:

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

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:

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

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.

According to the prediction of Mr. Huang, the founder of Nvidia, humanoid AI robots will flood all over the world in the future, so will there be many robots on the earth while there will be fewer and fewer humans?

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):

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Has the time come for Ukraine to come to terms with Russia since the situation on the battlefield is clearly hopeless at this point?

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

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

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.
