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

Here’s the proof :

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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:

Reports: Thomas Frank to become new Tottenham Hotspur head coach - NBC Sports

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Is there an MBTI personality that is more or less likely to handle stress?

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

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

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

Young Sheldon’s Montana Jordan Is Newly Married — See Wedding Photos Featuring Georgie & Mandy Cast - TVLine

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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):

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

What drivers said at Michigan after Cup race won by Denny Hamlin - NBC Sports

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

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

To the reader/asker:

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry take kids to Disneyland and the family photos are magical - HOLA

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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