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

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

Here’s the proof :

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

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

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):

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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:

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

Federal Reserve Board announces that reputational risk will no longer be a component of examination programs in its supervision of banks - Federal Reserve Board (.gov)

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Do you think most people would rather be a certain race or are most people happy with the race they are?

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

To the reader/asker:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Is it true that schizophrenia can sometimes be a demonic attack or black magic?

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

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?
