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

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
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):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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!

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
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:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Here’s the proof :
Why does it itch on my vulva, uterus, and sides of my vagina, but it doesn't itch inside the vagina?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
