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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

Why The Simpsons stopped producing Maude Flanders episodes?

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?

To the reader/asker:

What are some effective ways to introduce a fantasy world to your main character without information dumping?

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?

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

Is deconstruct sunscreen good for a 16-year-old girl?

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

What real evidence is there to believe in legends such as the story of Atlandida or the lost continent of Lemuria?

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

She Spotted a Detail in a Photo and Knew Immediately—Her Marriage Was Over - Jason Deegan

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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):

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