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

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Winners, losers from NASCAR Cup weekend at Michigan International Speedway - NBC Sports

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

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

To the reader/asker:

Americans Are Growing Less Interested in Buying Electric Vehicles, Study Says - Road & Track

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Addison Rae’s debut album proves her evolution from influencer to pop heavyweight is complete - The Independent

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):

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

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

Why do people see porn pics when they can watch porn videos instead?

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.

Here’s the proof :

What are some good series or movies like GOT in the fantasy genre?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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