Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
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.
Why can’t my wife just accept the fact that I’m going to cheat?
To the reader/asker:
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:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
How do I explain to my husband that my 19-year-old son has accidentally gotten me pregnant?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
How will the newly imposed trade tariffs affect the global economy?
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’s the worst thing you caught anyone in your family doing?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
