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

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

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

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

Is it still wrong to spread misinformation even if it's only to troll people rather than harming them?

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Michael Altenhofen Is Leaving NASA HQ - NASA Watch

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

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

Here’s the proof :

Do people really never face any hidden costs or surprises with surgeries in countries with single-payer healthcare like the NHS?

To the reader/asker:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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):

Voluptate ea explicabo culpa.

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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:

How do you respond to "I don't like you anymore"?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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