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

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Why does everyone hate Anthony Joshua so much? I get that he isn’t the best heavyweight boxer ever but people claim he’s a no skill fighter but he has an Olympic gold medal, a world championship, and beat Klitschko, a dominant force in boxing

Here’s the proof :

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

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

Why do flat-earth conspiracy theorists believe that photos from space, including those of satellites, are fake?

What are the beliefs of those who think climate change is a conspiracy theory? What do they predict will happen if we do not address it?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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:

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):

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