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

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):

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

What are some good fantasy books that contain aspects of magic in them?

Is it common for Americans to feel "trapped" due to the size and distance of their country from other countries/continents? Is this feeling an exaggeration or a reality?

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

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:

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