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

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):

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

Here’s the proof :

SEAvPSG Starting XI: Sounders close out CWC group stage competition with solid lineup - Seattle Sounders FC

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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

Why did Britain steal Gibraltar from Spain?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

How do romance scams typically operate? Do they always start by asking for money or do they sometimes begin with personal questions about the victim's life?

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:

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

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

What is your favourite summer outfit? Why?

To the reader/asker:

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

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

Why do flat earthers exist?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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