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:

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

Which other countries have implemented home appliance trade-in schemes?

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

Where Seattle Mariners stand in All-Star voting - Seattle Sports

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

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

Earth’s Oxygen Levels And Magnetic Field Strength Show Strong Correlation - Hackaday

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

Here’s the proof :

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

Why is America so fucked up?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:

Why do Trump supporters believe Trump should deport the immigrants? These people you call "illegal immigrants" have lived here for many years, they have houses, jobs, how can you think they will just go back to their country, where they have nothing?

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
