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?

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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:

France blown away! Records sent tumbling as Les Bleus concede five goals for the first time in 56 YEARS against incredible Spain - Goal.com

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?

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 you explain the difference between sunblock and sunscreen for the face? Which one is more suitable for oily skin?

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

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

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

NBA Draft will have tons of international talent, which is to be expected - NBA

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Here’s the proof :

Diddy’s lawyers won’t call witnesses after prosecution rests case - NBC News

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

To the reader/asker:

Anger as Kanye West to perform in Slovakia after Hitler song - France 24

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
