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.

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):

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Olympic Medalist MyKayla Skinner Says She Was 'Bullied' And 'Belittled' By Simone Biles, Applauds Riley Gaines - OutKick

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:

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?

Would you date a Muslim guy? Why/why not?

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

Here’s the proof :

Why is it common for guys to sleep with 10-20 women then marry a good girl?

To the reader/asker:

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