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

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

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

Why should you never do drugs? Will this story absolutely shock you?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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