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

Here’s the proof :

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

To the reader/asker:

Brad Pitt and Tim Cook surprise fans at Apple Fifth Avenue ahead of ‘F1 The Movie’ release - 9to5Mac

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

What's the most incredible coincidence that ever happened to you?

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

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Can you explain the difference between fissionable and fissile materials and their role in nuclear power reactors?

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

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 ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

Scientists make jaw-dropping find after drilling more than 1,500 feet into Antarctic ice: 'We even discovered a school of lobster-like creatures' - The Cool Down

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Why do gun owners feel the need to defend themselves with deadly weapons? Can they not just talk things out like civilized people do?

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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