Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can A...

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Here’s the proof :

NASA discovers that Earth's twin planet, Venus, is not geologically dead - Earth.com

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

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

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:

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):

Can you name a female actress who has had bad timing or luck in her film career?

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?

He said he loves me, but why is it difficult for him to leave his wife?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

What's your favorite stupid joke?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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