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.

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

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):

Quest 3S Xbox Edition Sold Out From Meta - UploadVR

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

To the reader/asker:

Erin Patterson tells murder trial exotic mushrooms 'have more flavour' - BBC

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon go shopping in Tokyo after actor’s $5.5M LA home was ‘ransacked’ by burglars - Page Six

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:

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

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

There’s a hidden rule that all life on Earth must follow, research claims - Boy Genius Report

Here’s the proof :

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

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

Why do Democrats claim to be Americans when they are actually Globalists?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
