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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

Why do foolish atheists think their strange delusional theories are facts?

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

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

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):

Scientists point to one particular sleep stage as being most important for preventing dementia - Earth.com

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:

To the reader/asker:

The global impact of Trump vs. Musk - Politico

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:

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Assumenda assumenda cum ducimus iste enim eos dolores molestiae.

Here’s the proof :

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

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

How do you feel about Labour MPs blaming the Tories for leaving them with difficult decisions regarding the winter fuel allowance cut?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
