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!

Here’s the proof :

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

NYC woman found a phone buried in her lawn — and police say it’s a new tactic thieves use to spy on homeowners - AOL.com

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

Does sleeping with earbuds cause ear pain?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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:

Brain Uses Separate Synapses to Balance Learning and Stability - Neuroscience News

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):

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:

Supplement health risks to know about, plus a celebrity's 'brutal' infection - Fox News

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

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

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

What should I do? I'm 17 and I'm dating a 23-year-old guy.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
