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

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

To the reader/asker:

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

Is it painful for men to wear bras, panties, and tampons?

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.

Here’s the proof :

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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):

K-pop supergroup BTS nears reunion as two more members end military service - The Washington Post

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:

How do so-called Religious/Christian people really think homosexuality is even a sin? That would be nonsense. In fact, LGBT people need love instead of contempt/hatred. The word Homosexual didn't appear until the 1850s.

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

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

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

Have you ever met somebody so stupid that they made you question how they survived this long?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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