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

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

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

Here’s the proof :

Supernovae may have kicked off abrupt climate shifts in the past—and they could again - Phys.org

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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):

Why is there no great temptress figure in any of Tolkien’s major works?

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

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:

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

7 Kirkland Items Members Say Are Better Than Anything at Target - Eat This Not That

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

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

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

Can you share something that captivates you, whether it's an idea, a discovery, or an invention?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Are miracles real or do they just have natural explanations?

To the reader/asker:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
