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):
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:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
What are some of the best photos of your favorite Korean model?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
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):
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Police arrest roughly 60 protesters outside US Capitol - CNN
To the reader/asker:
Here’s the proof :
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Biologists finally unravel the surprising story of how humans domesticated pigs - Earth.com
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Is anyone up to have a little conversation?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
