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

To the reader/asker:

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):

How can I move on from my ex?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

AMD reportedly preparing Ryzen 7 9700F 8-core processor - VideoCardz.com

Here’s the proof :

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

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

Why is the mainstream media, traditionally liberal except for Fox, not reporting on Trump like he's a traditional candidate who has ideas, values, and a concern for the common good?

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

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

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