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

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

To the reader/asker:

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

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

Former Nintendo marketing lead says the "one time" she "saw genuine fear from the executives" at the company was "when we saw the rise of mobile games" - GamesRadar+

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

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):

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

Scientists: We Built 'World's Smallest Violin' - Newser

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):

Here’s the proof :

Do conservative white women like black men?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Is Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen good for oily skin?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

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:

‘She never sleeps’: This platform wants to be OnlyFans for the AI era - CNN

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?
