Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Here’s the proof :
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Do all Koreans look like K-pop idols?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
What are the major contributing factors to the current slump in demand for Tesla vehicles in Europe?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
To the reader/asker:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
How can I stop overthinking and take action more quickly?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
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:
