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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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:

Why cant I feel anything in my sleep? I cannot even feel myself moving, breathing, and swallowing saliva! I cannot even hear anything, not even my alarm! Some people that I've been with says that I'm moving a lot in my sleep, how can I stop it?

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

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):

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

Why did Lord Shiva lust after Mohini - how can he be the supreme and worthy of devotion if he did such a thing?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

How can I remove decimals in math?

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

Here’s the proof :

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

How long can a marriage survive after a long-term affair?

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:

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:

Given the delays, should the US government consider purchasing Airbus planes for use as Air Force One planes instead of Boeing airplanes?

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

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

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