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

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):

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

Why am I dreaming of people I've never seen before?

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:

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

Why wasn't Queen as successful in America as in other countries? Then, after Radio Ga Ga, they couldn't even get into the top 40 in America even when these songs were top 10 hits everywhere else in the world.

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:

Here’s the proof :

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Now Is The Best Time To See The Milky Way’s Glowing Core In All Its Glory - IFLScience

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

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

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

Proposed NASA radio probe could use gravity 'lumpiness' to reveal the insides of alien worlds - Space

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Can you recommend a simple song with an awesome solo? What makes the solo stand out?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
