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

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
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 let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
What is the one thing you don't understand that others do?
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?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
What are some signs that a therapist may have poor boundaries with their clients?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Do conservative white women like black men?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
To the reader/asker:
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):
Here’s the proof :
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
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 presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
