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

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:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
If it weren't for your ult, which group would be your ult?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Fugiat rerum itaque dolorem rem.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
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?
Scientists visualize key protein structures linked to immune response and inflammation - Phys.org
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):
Here’s the proof :
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Musk rails against Trump tax bill, calling it ‘a disgusting abomination’ - The Washington Post
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
To the reader/asker:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
