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

Here’s the proof :
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Why do people stay in cults after they have joined?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
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):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
