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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

---what are the things which shouldnt be glorified but they are ---

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

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

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:

Why do most atheists in debates with theists take Bible verses out of context much of the time? Are they lying maliciously or do they not understand theology enough to understand the meaning?

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

What fiber optic setup would you recommend for a small business network?

Here’s the proof :

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