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!
To the reader/asker:
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):
Scientists Reveal Easy Three-Step Plan to Terraform Mars - futurism.com
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
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's the difference between “ce”, “ça”, and “cela”, and when do I use each (French)?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
How do I come out as queer to my best friend in a funny and stupid way?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Here’s the proof :
Why do I sweat between my legs all the time, top off my legs, all way down?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
