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

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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):
What are the main issues that have historically and currently divided Republicans and Democrats?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
In space, no one can hear you scream — But it still gets incredibly noisy - Salon.com
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 ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Have you ever witnessed a remote beach show where hundreds of turtles crawling to the water?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Here’s the proof :
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
The tiny Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard lets me get work done almost anywhere - CNN
To the reader/asker:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
"How does Claude AI ensure data privacy and security?
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:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
