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

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
What is the worst thing your sibling has done?
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Here’s the proof :

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
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):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
What does it mean when you dream that your mother died?
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:
To the reader/asker:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
I have a bad reputation and need help. What should I do?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
