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

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

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

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

Experts Predicts Unrecognizable Changes to Earth’s Map - The Daily Galaxy

Here’s the proof :

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!

Is there a type of function where every point has exactly one tangent line passing through it? If yes, what is this type of function called?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

To the reader/asker:

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

Does the fact that the Ukraine war wasn’t ended in 24 hours like Trump promised mean that he either lied or was too dumb to understand that it is more complicated?

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):

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Why do you think there is growing support for far-right parties in Europe?

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:

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
