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

Here’s the proof :

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

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

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

What is the estimated number of people with an extra X chromosome?

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:

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

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

North Carolina U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis won't run for reelection in 2026 - Axios

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):

I use email aliases to hide my Gmail address, and it's the best privacy move I can recommend - Android Authority

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:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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