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

Here’s the proof :

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Family scapegoats with years of healing: what events or thoughts precipitated your full acceptance of your family's narcissistic dynamic? Can you share your inner thoughts as you reached it? How do we know when we have reached full acceptance?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

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):

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Is it recommended to leave a note in a lost wallet asking for it to be returned?

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.

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

Man accused of writing Trump assassination letters was framed, officials say - BBC

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?

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Wing and Walmart are bringing drone delivery to 100 new stores - The Verge

To the reader/asker:

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

Scientists stunned to see humpback whales trying to send messages to humans - BBC Wildlife Magazine

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
