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

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Do you think Harris will win thanks to Taylor Swift and the Swifties?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

To the reader/asker:

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

Department of Homeland Security lists Buncombe County as 'sanctuary jurisdiction' - WLOS

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):

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

Here’s the proof :

SSRIs Restore Brain Function in Alzheimer’s - Neuroscience News

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

What do you think of the controls that will be set up over information flows at Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs' missions?

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

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

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:

We now told, by Senator Grassley, that on the FBI form about the Biden bribery story, there is a Burisma exec who says he has 17 tapes of his deal with the Biden. 15 of Hunter and 2 of Joe Biden? What would this do to Hunter/Joe Biden if released?

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

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