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:

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

Full-screen Xbox handheld UI is coming to all Windows PCs “starting next year” - Ars Technica

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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):

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

My boyfriend won’t tell me his past and it hurts me so I broke up with him what do I do?

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

What does it mean for a model to be a "non-chain-of-thought" model?

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

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

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

Why are people so rude to debt collector’s? I am one and I am so tired of being mistreated. We are under paid and then have to deal with the most ungrateful, and disrespectful people. We aren’t customer service. Don’t get mad at us because YOU owe.

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Here’s the proof :

Has the time come for Ukraine to come to terms with Russia since the situation on the battlefield is clearly hopeless at this point?

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

To the reader/asker:

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