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!

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

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

What was the weakest period in US history in terms of military strength? Was it during World War II or the Vietnam War?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

To the reader/asker:

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

How do the Sola Scrptura folks react to the Dead Sea Scrolls and other more recent discoveries of ancient Biblical texts not among those canonized by Martin Luther?

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

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

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

June's full 'Strawberry Moon' illuminates the night sky next week: Here's how to see it - Space

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:

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

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

What were the career paths of each member of "The Monkees" after the band disbanded? Did any of them have successful music careers?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Here’s the proof :

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):

I have been married for 34 years, and I found out my wife lied, and cheated a lot back before we got married. Does she not change, or is it possible she is still a cheater?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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