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

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

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):

Scientists Uncover Giant Spiders That Once Terrorized Jurassic Earth - The Daily Galaxy

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

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

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:

Do you prefer wired headphones or wireless earbuds?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Could humans be selectively bred, like dogs, to create 2 subspecies that can no longer have offspring? Do I not understand selective breeding properly? Im not worried about the moral implications, just the science please.

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

What are some hard truths that MAGA needs to hear?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Here’s the proof :

Why do most men who date ugly women brag like it's some big accomplishment, when any guy can pull an ugly woman?

To the reader/asker:

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