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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

Deion Sanders is home in Texas dealing with an unspecified health issue - NBC Sports

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):

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

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

Heavily shorted AI stock is rapidly climbing the Fortune 500 - TheStreet

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Here’s the proof :

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

See the moon shine with famous red star Antares in the southern sky on June 9 - Space

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Jack Daniel's maker Brown-Forman sees sales fall as Trump trade conflicts weigh on spirits producers - AP News

To the reader/asker:

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.

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:

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