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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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:

Most people obey arbitrary rules even when it's not in their interest to do so, experiments show - Phys.org

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

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

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’m sorry’…. Julianna Pena issues statement following submission loss to Kayla Harrison at UFC 316 - Bloody Elbow

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Proposed NASA radio probe could use gravity 'lumpiness' to reveal the insides of alien worlds - Space

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 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?

ADHD link to severe premenstrual disorder uncovered in women - Medical Xpress

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

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

Here’s the proof :

Which actor/actress appears to be in pain while acting? Is this due to their method acting or their lack of skill as an actor?

To the reader/asker:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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