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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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):

What does it mean to you to live a life that reflects biblical values?

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

"Can God create iron that God cannot bend?" Isn't it unreasonable to ask this about a being believed to have created logic? After all, God can create a logic that we can't understand right now that both are possible at the same time, right?

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

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

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

Overthinking is killing me day-by-day. What should I do?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

Here’s the proof :

To the reader/asker:

How can MeTV Toons compete with other national broadcast TV networks?

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

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:

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