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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Est ad incidunt reiciendis ut aut.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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:

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

To the reader/asker:

What are the best Jewish jokes?

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):

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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