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

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

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

Here’s the proof :

I accidentally bought a protein powder that gains weight by mistake, can I still use it to lose weight if I only consume small portions? Or is it completely useless now?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

How many girls or guys keep extra pantyhose in their glove box or console of their vehicle?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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?

What would explain Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war with Russia?

To the reader/asker:

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

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

Why are terrible, boring art pieces done by famous people worth so much while beautiful pieces done by amateurs are worthless?

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

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):

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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