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

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.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Here’s the proof :

Is 2 months enough for optimum learning time in meta ads? I'm still not getting the sales at the rate I want?

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:

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

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

When North Koreans visit other countries for the Olympics, what stops some of them fleeing away into that host country?

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

‘I feel like I’ve been lied to’: When a measles outbreak hits home - The Spokesman-Review

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

To the reader/asker:

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

Tinnitus linked to impaired cognitive function - Medical Xpress

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

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:

NASA's Voyager Spacecraft Found A 30,000-50,000 Kelvin "Wall" At The Edge Of Our Solar System - IFLScience

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

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):
