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

Here’s the proof :

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):

Are there legal obligations to report the known whereabouts of a missing person that doesn’t want to be found?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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):

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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:

If nobody will hire me, should I turn to crime to pursue a career in programming? I ask because if there's no legal entry-level jobs due to the oversaturation, I might have to go underground for it.

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

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

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