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 //):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
How can I use AI to create custom music to accompany my vocal song or poetry?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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 :
If you could go back and rewrite the Legend of Korra, what would you change, and why?
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):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
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:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Did Trump show us once again that he is a master debater?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
To the reader/asker:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
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?
