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

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

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?

What are some current examples of injustice?

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):

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Here’s the proof :

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

Which laptop should I buy if I can't use a specific AI tool on my phone like pictory.ai?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Sarah Snook wins Tony for Best Actress in a play for ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ — two years after ‘Succession’ - New York Post

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

If you are a programmer using an AI LLM to help you code, are you finding it speeding you up or slowing you down? What impact has it had on your programming?

To the reader/asker:

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:
