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

Here’s the proof :

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

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

I have received a fake legal notice, with unreachable phone number and unidentified address and fake lawyer enrollment number. The notice has caused my family severe stress. I know the person who might have done this illegal act. What should I do?

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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:

I was awaken between 2-3am by a voice that said “Hey”. Literally right next to my ear. Sounded like a males voice, but it wasn’t stern or deep. What could this mean?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

To the reader/asker:

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

If the United States leaves the EU to fend for themselves in the economy and NATO, could Europe become irrelevant in the global economy compare to China and America dominance in the world stage in AI and semiconductors? Will Europe become cash poor?

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?
