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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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:

Android 16 launched without its coolest features and I'm genuinely annoyed - Android Police

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Can you share something that captivates you, whether it's an idea, a discovery, or an invention?

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

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?

What are some signs that someone may be being stalked by an organization or secret society? How can they find out for sure?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

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

To the reader/asker:

Are evolutionists giving evolution a bad name by claiming humans started off as shrews?

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:

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