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

Here’s the proof :

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

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:

Why can't the US government force this new deep seek to not operate in the USA for security reasons? People's personal information will be available to China like TikTok was.

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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):

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

To the reader/asker:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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

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

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

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

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