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

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

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

To the reader/asker:

How effective will the Senate-passed bill, S. 4569, the Take It Down Act, which would criminalize the publication of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) be?

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?

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

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):

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:

Drug deaths plummet among young Americans as fentanyl carnage eases - NPR

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

What is your opinion on Ukraine's reaction to Donald Trump saying they should have never started the war?

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:

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

What specific economic and social impacts would result if all climate change policies and regulations were immediately repealed worldwide?

Here’s the proof :
