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

Here’s the proof :

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:

Why cant I motivate myself to go to school (grade 10)?

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

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

During the Atlmark incident in 1940, the Brit war criminals violated Norwegian neutrality. Hitler could then justify invading Norway. Have the Brits ever apologized for violating Norwegian neutrality?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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):

Libtards argue Obama deported more people than Trump, but if that were true why weren't they comparing Obama to Idi Amin?

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

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):

What questions would you ask to an AI?

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Can the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) be reversed?

To the reader/asker:

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