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

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

Here’s the proof :

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

Are you worried that the 2024 US presidential election will result in a close race?

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

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:

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