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

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):
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Here’s the proof :
Tulsa, Oklahoma, plans more than $105m in reparations for America's 'hidden' massacre - BBC
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Is there a way to use men’s hair gel that doesn’t make your hair dry and crunchy?
To the reader/asker:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Can the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) be reversed?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
What is the best video editing software you are using presently?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
