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!
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:
Here’s the proof :
Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven’t yet shared - TechCrunch
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):
To the reader/asker:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
This nonhormonal hot-flash remedy gives options to women, experts say - The Washington Post
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Have husbands and wives ever had a threesome with someone in real life? How did it happen?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
I test TVs for a living — and I recommend these 2 TVs above everything else - Tom's Guide
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
