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

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Here’s the proof :
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
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 presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
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):
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:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
What is your favorite underrated movie and why? What makes it underrated? How did you find it?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Why do a bra and panties have to match?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
To the reader/asker:
What are some reasons why some men choose to live alone instead of getting married?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
