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

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

Here’s the proof :

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

How do Greeks identify themselves in terms of civilization? Do they feel more connected to Western or Middle Eastern civilization and why?

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

What is it like to be a Christian in Iran?

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:

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

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

What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?

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

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

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