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

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):

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

Exactly When Apple Will Launch iPhone 17 And iPhone 17 Pro - Forbes

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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:

Main signs of narcissism as diagnosed man says there are three ways you can tell for sure that you aren’t one - LADbible

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

To the reader/asker:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

McDonald's is facing a harsh new reality as customer behavior shifts - TheStreet

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

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?

Why does my intimate area “sweat” and smell so much? I almost have to have a shower everyday. How do I get rid of this?

Here’s the proof :

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