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.

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

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

Where did Noah build the Ark? Was it in a desert or near water?

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

I discovered the 5 plants that moles hate, to stop them from causing havoc in my backyard - Homes and Gardens

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

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

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

What is the best skin care routine product for oily skin?

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):

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

To the reader/asker:

Could I still use a bonnet even if I’m white/have straight hair? I just want one to wear to bed for sensory purposes.

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

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:
