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

Here’s the proof :

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

To the reader/asker:

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:

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

Bono Educates Joe Rogan on DOGE’s ‘Pure Evil’ USAID Cuts - Rolling Stone

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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 //):

Miley declines to address accusations in court documents about death of Tyler Skaggs - AP News

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?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry take kids to Disneyland and the family photos are magical - HOLA

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Where do high school kids get weed from?

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

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

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