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

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

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

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

Is it possible for sisters to have different skin, hair colours, and hair types? E.g. hair= wavy, afro, straight, curly, black, brown, blonde, red. Skin colour: brown, peach, light brown and more.

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

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

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:

Nvidia in focus as BofA maintains Buy after meeting, Chinese companies hesitate (NVDA:NASDAQ) - Seeking Alpha

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

To the reader/asker:

Here’s the proof :

More Americans applied for jobless benefits last week, rising to highest level in eight months - PBS

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

Astronomers discover most powerful cosmic explosions since the Big Bang - Space

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Who is Harold Lloyd?

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):

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

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