Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can A...

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

Here’s the proof :

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

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 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):

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

How can one translate "You're welcome" from English to French using formal language? Are there any other ways to say this phrase in a more polite manner?

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

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