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

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

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

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

How are the brains of super geniuses (like Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Elon Musk, James Clerk Maxwell & Donald Trump) different from the average person’s brain?

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):

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

MAGA talking heads are saying that no MAGA child would publicly cry for their father, and want Gus Walz investigated as a crisis actor. I cried for my father and mother when they won or lost in life, am I a weird conservative or is MAGA messed up?

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

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

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