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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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!

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Can you explain the concept of an annulment of marriage in the Roman Catholic Church and its effects on a previous marriage?

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:

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Why can't they repair the damage caused by Elon Musk renaming Twitter to X?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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):

Here’s the proof :

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

To the reader/asker:

Totaka’s Song, one of Nintendo’s longest-running Easter eggs, found in Mario Kart World - Nintendo Everything

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

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