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?

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:

Can I see some anal hole?

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

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):

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

Boris Johnson says that “Starmer picked a fraudster for his Cabinet because he is the fraudster-in-chief. And he knows, in his heart, that the whole government is a fraud.” Do you agree with Boris Johnson about Starmer?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

"Can God create iron that God cannot bend?" Isn't it unreasonable to ask this about a being believed to have created logic? After all, God can create a logic that we can't understand right now that both are possible at the same time, right?

To the reader/asker:

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

What should I do to stop being angered easily?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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.

Why are breasts attractive?

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

Here’s the proof :
