Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

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

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

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

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

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:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Here’s the proof :
