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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

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

Did Leonardo da Vinci paint two Mona Lisas? Where are they?

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

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:

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

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):

With so much evidence supporting the flat Earth theory, why aren't more resources dedicated to studying it?

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

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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