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

Here’s the proof :
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):
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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):
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Why is China the first in the world to counter the "reciprocal tariff"?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
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:
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
To the reader/asker:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Why do I get spun and then want big fat cocks to suck?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
