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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
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):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
What is the review of Asitis Atom Power within whey protein?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Devil’s Third director says panned Wii U game was innovative for its time - Nintendo Everything
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
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:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Apple looked at Mira Murati’s AI startup after OpenAI exit, and it won’t stop there - 9to5Mac
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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):
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Here’s the proof :
