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

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

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

Doctors use poo pills to flush out dangerous superbugs - BBC

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:

To the reader/asker:

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

What do you think will be the biggest factor in determining whether Daniel Penny was justified in believing that Jordan Neely had posed a deadly threat in the manslaughter trial?

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

Here’s the proof :

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):

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

It is reported that President-elect Donald Trump meets with the TikTok CEO Shou Chew at Mar-a-Lago. Will TikTok take a turn for the better?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Why is it that when the Democrats absolutely love everyone to be LGBTP, they don't even acknowledge that Barack Obama and his husband Big Mike are homosexual, and he is the first homosexual president of the USA?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
