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

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

To the reader/asker:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Why don’t Jews regard Jesus as an important teacher or rabbi, if not the Messiah? Putting aside messianic claims, wouldn’t Jesus be one of the most significant Jewish teachers in human history?

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!

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

Joe Biden is not the best president we had. That would be John F. Kennedy. How is voting for Donald Trump any worse than voting for Joe Biden?

Here’s the proof :

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Did the Brits ever carry out high-profile, high-risk missions in World War II like the Americans did with a U-110 in the fictional movie “U-571”?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

2 Minnesota lawmakers shot in apparent 'targeted' incident: Officials - ABC News

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:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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?

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):

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