Here’s the proof :
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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 ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
To the reader/asker:
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Is AI secretly replacing your job right now without you knowing it? What do you think? Do you agree?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
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:

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
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!
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
