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

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

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

Why is pornography still alive and not illegal? Why doesn’t the government do about tricking women into them?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
