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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Here’s the proof :

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Do you think most people would rather be a certain race or are most people happy with the race they are?

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

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

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

What does it mean when we dream about demons, ghosts, monsters, etc.?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:

Browns' quarterback competition is right where it's supposed to be | The Huddle - Cleveland Browns

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

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 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):

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

To the reader/asker:

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