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

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?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

According to the prediction of Mr. Huang, the founder of Nvidia, humanoid AI robots will flood all over the world in the future, so will there be many robots on the earth while there will be fewer and fewer humans?

Here’s the proof :

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:

Sweden’s Maja Stark wins U.S. Women’s Open for first major championship - NBC Sports

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

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

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

What are some life hacks for living on your own?

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 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?

I always feel very tired after I do some exercises, even after a night's sleep. What's the problem?

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

To the reader/asker:

Did Harry and Meghan really get what they wanted?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
