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:

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

Whole Foods tells staff cyberattack at its primary distributor UNFI will affect product availability - TechCrunch

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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):

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

I'm a 27 year old male currently but I am going through going through gender dysphoria. Why do some transgender people (specifically transgender women since I see that the most) call themselves trannies or shemales? Aren't those offensive words?

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

Here’s the proof :

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

What is the most comfortable heel height for women's dress shoes and what are the differences between wearing high heels and lower heels?

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):

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

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