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

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:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

What are some ways to adjust to sleeping with one's mouth closed if they have been breathing through their mouth due to snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?

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

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

What are some current examples of injustice?

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

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