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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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:

People Are Being Committed After Spiraling Into 'ChatGPT Psychosis' - Slashdot

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

To the reader/asker:

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

What are "demonic attacks" and how can one tell when they're happening to them, or someone else? How would one go about dealing with it?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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):

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Why do narcissists keep calling on the phone after years of separation?

Here’s the proof :

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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