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.

Here’s the proof :

AMD once again first to top GPU clock charts with RX 9060 XT delivering 3.1 GHz - VideoCardz.com

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

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.

Why did losers ban TikTok?

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

To the reader/asker:

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

How should one handle an uninvited guest at a small, intimate wedding ceremony? Is it appropriate to ask them not to attend?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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:

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

Why do my friends always say "yeah, we've heard this before" when I talk about something I'm passionate about?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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):

What are some tips for making your husband fall madly in love with you again after going through the worst phase of your marriage?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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