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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Instead of worrying about your weight, focus on avoiding fragility - CNN

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:

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

Here’s the proof :

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):

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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:

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

Had strong anxiety, heart palpitations, headaches and fear randomly over twin flame presence, 20 mins later he didnt acknowledge me saw a photo of a girl on the back of his phone faced up. Assume it was a new gf. Was this a warning of seperation?

To the reader/asker:

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