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

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Here’s the proof :

To the reader/asker:

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:

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

Switch, Xbox, and the portable future of games - The Verge

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

What's the point of gender reassignment surgery which doesn't change a person's chromosomes?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

At what stage in your life did you realize, "No, I can't do this any more" and walk out? Why?

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

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

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

Has anyone had a romance scammer start messaging them on Quora? How do you know if the person is scamming you? What do you do?

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):

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