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

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):

Robots run out of energy long before they run out of work to do − feeding them could change that - The Conversation

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

Here’s the proof :

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:

MAGAs are becoming unhinged and violent about Musk being called the United States President. If MAGAs think Trump is the Commander in Chief, why aren’t MAGAs blaming Trump for what DOGE is doing to Americans?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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.

I live in Massachusetts. Are there any resources here for people that are being harassed by voice to skull, etc.?

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

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