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

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

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

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

Why do many modern Hollywood films rely heavily on CGI and visual effects instead of actual sets? What is your opinion on this trend?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

What happens psychologically to a man the first time he gets penetrated anally?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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:

How is it, in the USA, a country with 334 million people, the choice of President comes down to two aged men, one of whom is a liar as well as a criminal, one who appears to be on his way to dementia. Surely a democratic country can put up better?

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Why is my older sister so mean to me as if I was her enemy?

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):

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

To the reader/asker:

Do marathon racing shoes like Nike Vaporfly and Alphafly provide an unfair advantage to runners over competitors who do not wear them?

Here’s the proof :

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

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