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

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

To the reader/asker:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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):

James Webb Space Telescope sees 1st exoplanet raining sand alongside 'sandcastle' partner world - Space

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Here’s the proof :

I broke up with my boyfriend because he wasn’t transparent about his past, it hurts me and he doesn’t care. I told him in the beginning of our relationship that it was a deal breaker for me what do I do?

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

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:

We Finally Know The Route Of Neanderthals’ Massive Migration Across Eurasia - IFLScience

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:

The Universe's Most Powerful Cosmic Rays May Finally Be Explained - ScienceAlert

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

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

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

LeBron James’ message for Caitlin Clark after dominant return from injury - New York Post

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
