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

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!

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

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

Why is Harry Sisson such a whiny hypocrite? He complained about President Trump going to the Super Bowl "costing millions of taxpayers' dollars," but not a word when Taylor Swift, another multimillionaire, did the same thing.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

To the reader/asker:

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

Norris storms to pole in Austria as Verstappen takes seventh - F1

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Here's what happens when quark-gluon plasma 'splashes' during the most energetic particle collisions - Phys.org

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:

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):

We’re About To Talk To Dolphins… But Are We Ready To Hear The Truth? - The Daily Galaxy

Here’s the proof :

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

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

Steam gamers given 24 hours to grab hit game completely free - GAMINGbible

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