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

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

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

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

Chiefs trivia: Your in-5 daily game, Friday edition - Arrowhead Pride

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

Here’s the proof :

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

At what point does trespassing become self defense? What are the necessary conditions for this line to be crossed from trespassing to self defense?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Compass psilocybin therapy shown to be effective in largest-ever study in depression - STAT

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):

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:

Alan Alda, Mike Farrell Among Those Paying Tribute to Loretta Swit: “A Supremely Talented Actor” - The Hollywood Reporter

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 ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

To the reader/asker:

My son died seven months ago at the age of 24 how do I know if he’s in heaven and can he see me and hear me and why have I not gotten any signs yet from him or Mom just not seeing the signs how do I know if he’s OK how do I know if he’s happy?

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
