And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
To the reader/asker:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Where can Ukrainians go if they cannot have shelter and heating this winter?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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 use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
When British people write X after everything, are they being serious or trying not to be awkward?
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):
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:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Here’s the proof :
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
‘Death Stranding 2’ is Hideo Kojima at the peak of his powers - The Washington Post
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
