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

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):

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Here’s the proof :

Why did my ex of 2 years move on so fast after he left me? Why does he act so cold towards me, and as if I don't exist?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Why do men want to suck dick?

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

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:

Out-of-Body Experiences Could Be Coping Mechanisms Instead of Pathology, New Research Suggests - The Debrief

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Does the success of autonomous spacecraft and the rise of AI render human involvement in future space exploration unnecessary?

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

To the reader/asker:

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