And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Why do I feel sleepy after massage?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Here’s the proof :
Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?
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:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
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):

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
To the reader/asker:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Alabama reports its first 2025 case of this dangerous virus - AL.com
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
