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

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

To the reader/asker:

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

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

What is world history that not many people know about?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Let’s say you have 3 separate manuscripts and send 1 of them to 12 different agents (4 read same copy). Now let’s say 2 agents each liked separate manuscripts and want to move forward. What would you do as far as transparency and negotiation?

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

How do you deal with neighbors who are always telling you what to do?

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

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

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:

Answering the Nintendo Switch 2’s lingering accessibility questions - The Verge

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Billy Joel cracking jokes about ‘getting old,’ ‘cremated’ after brain disorder diagnosis, Tribeca doc director shares - New York Post

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):

Here’s the proof :
