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

Here’s the proof :

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

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

How did Neo defeat the architect at the end of The Matrix: Reloaded? Was it solely due to his belief in himself or were there other factors at play?

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

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?

What is the reason for the high number of stray dogs in Thailand? What measures are being taken to address this issue?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Why cant I add weight to my lifts even though im completing my sets? Every time I try to add more weight I cant even complete one rep.

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Is the water safe to drink in England like here in America or is it necessary to bring tablets to prevent any cholera when in London?

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

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:

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