Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
To the reader/asker:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Are people who cite the 2nd Amendment honestly familiar with what it establishes?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

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

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

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:
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Here’s the proof :

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