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!

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?

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

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:

Are landlords allowed to make unreasonable requests?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

To the reader/asker:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Is it still wrong to spread misinformation even if it's only to troll people rather than harming them?

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Why do people always talk about Ohio as it's a dangerous city?

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

Here’s the proof :
