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?

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

Here’s the proof :

Why are the Chinese so sensitive to Western criticism?

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

What does it mean when someone says "I'm feeling frisky"?

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

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):

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