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

Here’s the proof :

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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:

Is dating in college necessary? Why and why not?

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 //):

How can a hacker damage me, realistically?

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

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

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

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

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):

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
