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

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

Why do atheists always argue about the existence of suffering in the world as meaning God doesn't exist when it doesn't prove anything?

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?

Who's your celebrity crush?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Here’s the proof :

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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