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

Here’s the proof :

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

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

Where you live may affect your risk of dementia, UCSF study finds - San Francisco Chronicle

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

To the reader/asker:

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

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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):

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

What happens if you listen to loud music while you sleep through earbuds every night (about 8 hours)? How will this affect your hearing? Will it decline fast?

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:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

What discoveries in AI research have changed our understanding of intelligence evolution?

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.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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