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

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
What was something you did naughty with your cousin?
To the reader/asker:
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:
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):
Oil rallies as Russia-Ukraine tensions offset OPEC+ output hike - Investing.com
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Why is the US going after Canada after all? What is the reason for all this hostility?
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
What questions are asked in a JP Morgan Hirevue interview?
Here’s the proof :
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:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
