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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
To the reader/asker:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Why are 38% of IIT graduates unplaced in 2024?
Here’s the proof :
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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:
What do you think about a sister's love?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

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 ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
