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

Here’s the proof :

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

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

Anxious-depressed individuals underestimate themselves even when they’re right - PsyPost

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

What is your age now, and what age do you prefer to stay at forever?

To the reader/asker:

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

If the world was flat, would it be possible to see Mount Everest if it was on the other side of the Earth on a clear sunny day?

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

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):

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Do you agree with Kamala Harris that Donald Trump is dangerous?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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:

What are some current trends in sci-fi and fantasy literature?

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

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