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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

To the reader/asker:

Here’s the proof :

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Why are the democrats keep insisting that there are more than two genders?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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):

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 after 50 years of being straight do I constantly desire to suck cock?

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

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

What are the primary benefits of using infrared sauna blankets?

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

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 //):

FDA Approves KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) for PD-L1+ Resectable Locally Advanced Head & Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma as Neoadjuvant Treatment, Continued as Adjuvant Treatment Combined With Radiotherapy With or Without Cisplatin Then as a - Merck.com

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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