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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
How far back into your childhood can your remember and what is your favorite memory of that time?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
How often should you forgive someone for hurting you? At what point should you cut ties?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
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 let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

To the reader/asker:
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):
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Have you ever followed through being bi-curious?
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.
Here’s the proof :
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
