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

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

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):

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

Here’s the proof :

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

What sets porcini mushrooms apart from other types of mushrooms, such as button mushrooms?

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

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 ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

My parents force me (15yo atheist) to go to church, and there’s this thing called Small Sundays where we discuss the Bible in groups, there are questions asked about the Bible. What am I supposed to do when they ask?

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

To the reader/asker:

Do you believe that social media companies should allow posts spreading misinformation about election results, as suggested by Rep. Jim Jordan?

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

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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