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

To the reader/asker:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
How can a person develop advanced brain power?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Here’s the proof :
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):
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Has the current political environment caused Canadians to cancel trips to the United States?
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:
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
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 //):
Trump tariffs expected to dampen global economic growth, OECD says - The Washington Post
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
