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

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

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

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

Do Brits realize that Andrew Tate is the one who will liberate their country from tyranny by becoming prime minister?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Here’s the proof :

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:

If I want to grow muscles, is taking creatine a must or can I take whey protein only?

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

What Happens to Your Blood Pressure When You Drink Energy Drinks Every Day? - Verywell Health

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Does the success of autonomous spacecraft and the rise of AI render human involvement in future space exploration unnecessary?

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

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):

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

Why can't they repair the damage caused by Elon Musk renaming Twitter to X?

To the reader/asker:

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