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:
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
What is the impact of being stereotyped as poor on an individual's life? How does it make them feel?

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.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

To the reader/asker:
What is the thing that the olden generation enjoys more than the modern generation?
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!
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
