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

Here’s the proof :

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:

What is the difference between Michael Corleone’s marriage to Apollonia Vitelli and Kay Adams?

To the reader/asker:

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

I see lots of pictures of women who have huge clits are they real or what?
