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

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?

To the reader/asker:

Is there any way for Zelensky to prevent the United States and Russia from harming Ukraine's interests?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Here’s the proof :

People’s Pharmacy: Did this OTC allergy medicine cause my excruciating knee pain? - OregonLive.com

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

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:

Fervo Energy lands $206M in financing to build massive geothermal power plant - TechCrunch

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

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 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):

Why can’t the British eat or drink anything unless they place a table cloth on the table first?

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Why isn't the FBI raiding all Silicon Valley companies like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, Reddit, Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Disqus, Wikipedia for censoring the World through their Ban cartel violating the constitution freespeech laws?

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

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