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

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Here’s the proof :
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

To the reader/asker:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
US growth likely to slow to 1.6% this year, hobbled by Trump's trade wars, OECD says - ABC News
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
What does it mean when someone is pretending to be me?
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 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):
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:
What are the common formulas for improvising ornaments in bel canto singing?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
