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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
To the reader/asker:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
What is the best video editing software you are using presently?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Here’s the proof :
Cal Raleigh hits 30th HR, but Mariners fall to Cubs amid high winds, heat - The Seattle Times
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?
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:
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):
Samsung is giving these Galaxy phones a big One UI upgrade - here's which models qualify - ZDNET
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Can you share 100 facts about yourself?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
