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

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

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

To the reader/asker:

What would you change in the "Game of Thrones" storyline if you were one of the writers of the TV series?

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:

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

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):

If we do not know the name of the father of a child, e.g. a foundling, an illegitimate, etc., then to whom should the bin or the binti of the child's name be applied?

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

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

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

Why do unattractive men assume that a pretty woman like me want them?

Here’s the proof :

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

New COVID variant is spreading. Don’t underestimate it, experts say. - NJ.com

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

No. 2 Baseball comes up short against UTSA, 9-7 - University of Texas Athletics - University of Texas Athletics

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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