Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Which is better, a naked picture of some one you know or porn videos?

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

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

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

U.S. economy stalled in May, Fed survey finds - MarketWatch

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

To the reader/asker:

Thanks to FIFA, Atlanta’s first-ever Club World Cup game was underwhelming - AJC.com

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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:

Is there a type of function where every point has exactly one tangent line passing through it? If yes, what is this type of function called?

Here’s the proof :

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):

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

What do porn stars do when they get old?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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