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

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

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

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

Why do people hate on Serena (anime character)? What did she ever do to anyone except be a good friend to Ash Ketchum and an awesome trainer herself?

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:

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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

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

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

If a person stops thinking one or two words in a second or half second means he had stopped thinking for half second?

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

To the reader/asker:

Here’s the proof :

"Can't Believe Virat Kohli Knew...": RCB's Celebrations Amid Stampede Row Heats Up - NDTV Sports

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Are judges being lenient on hard criminals?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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):

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