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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

To the reader/asker:

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:

NASA Might Have Accidentally Landed Near A Volcano On Mars - IFLScience

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

Aaron Civale traded to White Sox for Andrew Vaughn - Brew Crew Ball

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Here’s the proof :

'I did a bit of a dance': Detectorist finds gold 'mourning ring' engraved with skull and date in UK field - Live Science

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?

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

Can you summarize season 1 of "The Acolyte"?

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

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

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

What baseball stories from the early days of the sport seem too bizarre to be true?

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?
