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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Here’s the proof :

There is any scientific evidence that we live in a sphere. Why do others say that we lives in a flat Earth but there is no evidence that they have proven the existence of a flat earth?

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

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:

Have you ever met someone and something seemed so unusual about them but you couldn't put your finger on what it was?

To the reader/asker:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Why are the democrats keep insisting that there are more than two genders?

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

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

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

How did Neo defeat the architect at the end of The Matrix: Reloaded? Was it solely due to his belief in himself or were there other factors at play?

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:

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Why do flat Earthers run away like whipped dogs with their tails between their legs when asked simple questions that expose their delusions as fantasy?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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