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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Strawberry Moon 2025: June’s full moon to light up the sky this month- know date, time, and the science b - Times of India

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

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

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

Taking a realistic look at terraforming Mars - Phys.org

To the reader/asker:

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

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):

Autism and ADHD have distinct brain connectivity signatures, study finds - Medical Xpress

Here’s the proof :

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:

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

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

Scientists are experimenting with a completely new approach to combat human aging - Earth.com

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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