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

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

To the reader/asker:

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

Why is Roblox so laggy it’s unplayable? My computer is fine and the internet is great.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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 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):

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon have PDA-packed date night at ‘F1’ premiere in NYC - Page Six

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

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

Why is Matt Gaetz being investigated but not Sarah (Tim) McBride? Why do we only care about grooming when it's the Republicans doing it?

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

Here’s the proof :

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

What do you love to do at night when you’re alone?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

What are the latest trends in commercial interior design in Noida?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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