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

Here’s the proof :
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
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!
To the reader/asker:
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
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 ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
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:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
What discoveries in AI research have changed our understanding of intelligence evolution?
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.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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