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

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

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?

What are "demonic attacks" and how can one tell when they're happening to them, or someone else? How would one go about dealing with it?

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):

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Why do you write?

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

To the reader/asker:

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

More seniors are using cannabis than ever before despite health risks, research shows - Fox News

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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:

What are the beliefs of those who think climate change is a conspiracy theory? What do they predict will happen if we do not address it?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Here’s the proof :

Have you ever had sex with your mother-in-law? If so, how was it and did your wife ever find out?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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