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

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):

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

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

CM Punk comes out as the Doctor of Thuganomics and is cheered in Saudi Arabia - Cageside Seats

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

No. 2 Coco Gauff faces No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in French Open women’s final - NBC Sports

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

Here’s the proof :

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

Injury to specific brain connections could explain some people's criminal behavior, study finds - Medical Xpress

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

To the reader/asker:

How should one handle an uninvited guest at a small, intimate wedding ceremony? Is it appropriate to ask them not to attend?

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?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Can anyone show a photo with a penis in their anus?

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

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