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

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:

To the reader/asker:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

What's your wildest & weirdest fantasy?

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

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