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

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Here’s the proof :
Is there a possibility that we are living in a simulation and that there is a concept of rebirth?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
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:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

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