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

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

Here’s the proof :

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

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

Fastest Payout Online Casino: Lucky Creek Best of Instant Withdrawal Casinos - ACCESS Newswire

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

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):

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

Why are so many people anti-Trump? People didn't like Obama either, but he was the president, so people didn't do this. What makes Trump different?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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:

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

The NASA science missions that would be axed in Trump’s 2026 budget - The Washington Post

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

To the reader/asker:

Has the time come for Ukraine to come to terms with Russia since the situation on the battlefield is clearly hopeless at this point?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
