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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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:

Phillies Place Bryce Harper On 10-Day IL Due To Wrist Inflammation - MLB Trade Rumors

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

To the reader/asker:

Here’s the proof :

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

$80 Xbox games seem like a steal compared to what I'm paying, and I don't like it - Windows Central

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):

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Who are the most underrated and under-appreciated Hollywood actors/actresses?

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 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!

Texas woman died after rinsing sinuses with infected tap water — here’s how to keep yourself safe - New York Post

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

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

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