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

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

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.

Shortcuts is getting an AI-powered revamp; here’s what that could mean - 9to5Mac

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

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):

What is your opinion on the belief that one can change their life by changing their thoughts and having a positive mindset?

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

Why are Democrats at Q so desperate that they keep taking down my links to comments that prove the residents in Ohio have been filing complaints about the Haitians eating the local wildlife from ponds in the local parks? Election interference

Here’s the proof :

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Which is the first MV you watched in Stray Kids?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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