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:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Here’s the proof :

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

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?

I have permed hair in need of some deep moisturizing. If I use a product like Pro K pac as a leave-in conditioner and don’t rinse it out for 24 hours, will my hair be damaged?

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

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:

To the reader/asker:

Decker manhunt: Officials reopen Icicle River area - KING5.com

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

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):

While wearing high heels and walking heel to toe, when the toe box hit the floor there is a noise. How do I keep the noise just for the heel?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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