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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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?

AI identifies key gene sets that cause complex diseases - Medical Xpress

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

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

Here’s the proof :

What are some innovative business ideas for leveraging AI in 2024?

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

To the reader/asker:

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

Trump’s Truth Social files with SEC for bitcoin-ether ETF - The Block

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?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Have you ever been forced into bestiality?

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):

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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:

Why don’t Jews regard Jesus as an important teacher or rabbi, if not the Messiah? Putting aside messianic claims, wouldn’t Jesus be one of the most significant Jewish teachers in human history?

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
