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

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

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

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

Here’s the proof :

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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:

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

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Why do you allow your cat to lie in bed with you?

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):

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

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