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

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

To the reader/asker:

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

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

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

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

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

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

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
