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?

Here’s the proof :

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

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

Temu’s daily US users cut in half following end of ‘de minimis’ loophole - New York Post

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

Why would a man be interested in an ordinary woman while there are very beautiful and fabulous women?

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:

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

Should Kick Streaming buy TikTok so that TikTok can allow jerks to not get banned but instead promoted due to poor behavior like is the case with Kick already?

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

To the reader/asker:

If a cat is feminine in German, what article do you give to a male cat?

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

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

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

Why are there no fossils for the 'missing link' that connects our ancestors with other species? Is this a misconception or is there another explanation?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
