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

Here’s the proof :

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Blood test detects multiple cancer types through cell-free DNA - Medical Xpress

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

To the reader/asker:

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

Fishing is a popular pastime on many US beaches. What is a type of saltwater fish commonly caught from piers or by wading (flounder, redfish, etc.)?

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:

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):

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

Why is there so much hate against black people?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

What are your thoughts on a Russian poetry prize banning entries from transgender people? Why is Russia so transphobic?

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

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

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

What does it feel like wearing tights?

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

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