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

To the reader/asker:

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

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

Is it possible for humans to determine their past life as an animal? Is there a scientific method to prove this?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

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:

Sabrina Carpenter, SZA, Ariana Grande Win Multiple Awards at 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards (Full Winners List) - Billboard

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

‘Harry Potter’ Star Tom Felton on Playing Draco Malfoy on Broadway and Why J.K. Rowling’s Controversy Doesn’t Impact His View of the Franchise: ‘I’ve Not Seen Anything Bring the World Together More Than Potter’ - Variety

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

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

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