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

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

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

Here’s the proof :

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

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

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

What is the reason behind people believing in the concept of causation, even though it cannot be proven or deemed necessary for everything to exist?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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):

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

To the reader/asker:

What is your review of House of the Dragon, season 2, episode 8, "The Queen Who Ever Was"?

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:

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