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

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
To the reader/asker:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
What do you do you do if your motorcycle chain snaps while riding on the highway?
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 let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Do leftists understand why young men are becoming more right-wing?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
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:
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Why does the UK Labour MP Jess Philips seem to be such a divisive figure?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
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!

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
