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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Here’s the proof :

NASA Is Planning to Build a Massive Telescope on the Moon’s Dark Side - The Daily Galaxy

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):

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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:

To the reader/asker:

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

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

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

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:

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

How can you maintain self-control?

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

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

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