Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can A...

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):

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

Here’s the proof :

What can I do to deal with disrespectful children?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

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

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

"Can God create iron that God cannot bend?" Isn't it unreasonable to ask this about a being believed to have created logic? After all, God can create a logic that we can't understand right now that both are possible at the same time, right?

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

To the reader/asker:

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:

European leaders worry they’re too reliant on U.S. tech - TechCrunch

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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