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:
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Here’s the proof :
Why am I so afraid that gun owners have set traps to kill me outside my house or my car?
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:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Which daily habits can help you keep a clear and positive mind?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
To the reader/asker:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
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):
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
