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:

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

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

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

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:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Is it true that all men want a woman who looks like an Instagram “model”?

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

See the crescent moon dance with Mars and the bright star Regulus this weekend - Space

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

To the reader/asker:

What is your opinion about homosexuality? Do you think that it is by nature or a choice?

Here’s the proof :

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
