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

Here’s the proof :

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

Is there a genre that combines elements of fantasy and science fiction, such as magic and advanced technology?

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

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:

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

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

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):

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

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

What are some sunscreens that are suitable for oily-skinned individuals and do not make the face look greasy or shiny after application?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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