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

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):
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
How do flat Earthers explain the existence of other spherical planets?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
What is AI's effect on digital marketing?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
To the reader/asker:
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 :
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
How is ice climbing a different or similar experience from rock climbing?
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.
