Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can A...

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Here’s the proof :

How do I stop my 12-year-old daughter from crying herself to sleep? I have punished her and she still does it.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

What are the major security challenges facing India, both domestically and internationally, and how does the government address them?

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

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

How can I copy and paste the AI answers here on Quora since I can't do it anymore?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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:

MAGAs are becoming unhinged and violent about Musk being called the United States President. If MAGAs think Trump is the Commander in Chief, why aren’t MAGAs blaming Trump for what DOGE is doing to Americans?

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

To the reader/asker:

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

Resident Evil 9, Requiem, Announced At Summer Game Fest With Trailer And Release Date - GameSpot

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

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

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