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

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

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

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:

Creatine supports brain and muscle health during every stage of life - Earth.com

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

Trump gets back behind raids in immigration whiplash - Axios

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):

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

Andrew Tate said the covid is a scam and only dorks get vaccinated. Is it true?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

My son died seven months ago at the age of 24 how do I know if he’s in heaven and can he see me and hear me and why have I not gotten any signs yet from him or Mom just not seeing the signs how do I know if he’s OK how do I know if he’s happy?

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

To the reader/asker:

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