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:

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

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

How does growing up in chaos affect a child as they become an adult?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Do women like watching men sucking men?

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

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