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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Magnetic fields appear to be as old as the universe itself. What created them? - Space

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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):

Report: Steelers, Dolphins renew talks about a trade for Jonnu Smith - NBC Sports

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

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 ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

Why are your TikTok videos getting low views?

Here’s the proof :

To the reader/asker:

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

An Invisible Force Has Been Eating Away at Mars for Centuries… and NASA Finally Caught It - The Daily Galaxy

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

A promising new HIV vaccine was set to start trials. Then came Trump's latest cuts : Goats and Soda - NPR

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

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