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

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

Here’s the proof :

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Is there a software or anything else where you could remove a certain instrument sound from a song and replace it with you playing that instrument instead while the rest of the instruments play?

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

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:

What is the best at home LED/red light therapy tool?

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):

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

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

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

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):

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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