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

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

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

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

Google quietly released an app that lets you download and run AI models locally - TechCrunch

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

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):

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

Bitcoin: Despite $11B ETF inflows, BTC stalls below $110K – Reasons? - AMBCrypto

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

After Game 4 low, Pacers look to 'dig in' at 2-2 - ESPN

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

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Can AI render a high resolution image from a low resolution image?

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:

To the reader/asker:

Here’s the proof :

Am I the unique Gen Z if I dislike TikTok and prefer the 2000s technology trends like retro consoles, CRTs, and CD/DVDs?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
