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

To the reader/asker:

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:

I am upper middle class and study at the London School of economics and Finance (economics and Finance). I am 18 years old. What are my chances of becoming a billionaire?

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

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

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

Why do people have trouble accepting the very true fact that "The Blue Marble" photo of Earth is a composite and therefore (just like every other subsequent "picture" of Earth NASA has ever shown us) not a real photo but computer generated?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Here’s the proof :

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:

Thunder-Pacers: SGA, OKC rally to win Game 4 of NBA Finals - Al Jazeera

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

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

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

2-year-old boy is swept away on luggage conveyor belt at Newark Airport in latest terror at beleaguered travel hub - New York Post

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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):

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