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

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

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

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

David Hogg to depart as DNC vice chair after months of turmoil - The Washington Post

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

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

To the reader/asker:

What’s the best local food you’ve ever tried while traveling?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Here’s the proof :

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

All four iPhone 17 models just tipped for ‘metalens’ upgrade - Tom's Guide

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

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

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

Why do flat earthers exist?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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):

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:

Renault CEO and architect of Alpine F1 project stepping down - The Race

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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