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

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

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.

Why do people think Justin Bieber is worse than Joseph Stalin?

To the reader/asker:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Do airline pilots try to avoid turbulence? How can you tell if your flight has been rerouted due to weather conditions or other factors?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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!

What’s something you did a lot as a kid that you don’t miss now that you’re an adult?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Here’s the proof :

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

I listened to Kamala Harris speech she gave in North Carolina. I support 100% of what she said. I am more and more in favor of a Kamala Harris presidency if Biden becomes unable to be our president! Do you find yourself supporting Kamala Harris now?

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:

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