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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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

Why can't ugly women date hot guys? I know a woman who wants a hot BF but people would just laugh at her and ask her "what can you bring to the table for him?", isn't that messed up?

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

What is the best eye serum for dark circles?

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

Here’s the proof :

Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?
