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):
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 :

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
To the reader/asker:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
What does it mean when someone is pretending to be me?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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):

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:
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

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 //):
