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

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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):
What is the best way to get clients to a call center?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
To the reader/asker:
Why did you put a guy’s dick in your mouth the first time?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Here’s the proof :
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Why do people think Justin Bieber is worse than Joseph Stalin?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
