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

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

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

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

Is it possible for the U.S. government to get rid of the constitution for national safety?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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 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 does a college girl cover her face with a scarf in Bangalore?

To the reader/asker:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

What’s the best way to get over someone you love?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Here’s the proof :

Google's Demis Hassabis says AI will create new 'very valuable jobs.' Here's what he'd study as a student right now. - Business Insider

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:

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

Men more likely than women to orgasm from anal penetration, study finds - PsyPost

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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):
