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

Here’s the proof :

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Cliffhanger's Black Panther game reportedly would have built upon the famously patented Nemesis System - Rock Paper Shotgun

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:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

The ‘revenge tax’ buried deep in the budget bill could turn a trade war into a ‘capital war,’ analyst says - AOL.com

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

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):

What is “AI upscaling” in video game development?

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

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):

What are some reasons why people may fear strong men?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

It’s been over a month since I stopped taking sertraline but why do I still feel side effects like brain zaps and anxiety mood changes? The root cause of anxiety it’s your thinking and I perfectly master that better than before so it’s hard lately.

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

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