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

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

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

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:

Why did Meghan become a Hollywood actress before marrying into royalty? Was this against protocol and tradition for future royals who marry into the UK monarchy?

To the reader/asker:

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

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

We’re About To Talk To Dolphins… But Are We Ready To Hear The Truth? - The Daily Galaxy

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Here’s the proof :

What is the best case of “You just picked a fight with the wrong person” that you've witnessed?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Have you ever witnessed political correctness harm someone?

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):

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Why is Donald Trump so obsessed with Taylor Swift not supporting him? Why would he think she would want to support a sociopathic liar who pushes election lies in order to stay in political power?

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

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?
