Here’s the proof :
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
How does Arab culture and values differ from western culture and values?

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

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
To the reader/asker:
The Largest Black Hole Jet Ever Found Is 3 Times the Size of the Milky Way - The Daily Galaxy
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
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:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
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):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
