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

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

Here’s the proof :

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

The world of the Harry Potter series is usually considered bad worldbuilding. What are some examples of actually good worldbuilding in the books/movies?

To the reader/asker:

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 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:

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

Why do diabetic people sweat so much?

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

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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