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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

To the reader/asker:

What are the top AI tools enhancing workplace productivity in 2025?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

How does a 45-year-old man get a girlfriend?

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):

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

Here’s the proof :

'AI Godfather' Warns Superintelligent Machines Could Kill Off Humans With Biowarfare - Decrypt

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

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