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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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 ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

What is the most popular song that includes the word "you"? Are there any other songs that use "you" multiple times?

To the reader/asker:

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

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Here’s the proof :

How should Syrian President Bashar al-Assad be held accountable for the human rights violations and atrocities committed by his regime?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Europe will have to be more Tenacious to land its first rover on the moon - TechCrunch

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

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