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

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):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

Here’s the proof :
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:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
How can a person develop advanced brain power?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
To the reader/asker:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
