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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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):

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

Here’s the proof :

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

Why do we typically sing songs during Christmas instead of other holidays like Easter or Thanksgiving?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Why does Microsoft always create so many ugly, confusing, and ridiculous product names? The worst of them all is ".Net" (which is really confusing).

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:

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

How do you feel about Trump saying Ukraine 'should have never started war with Russia'?

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
