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?
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:
When Chinese people see my pets, will they think of it as their food?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Which is the worst Bollywood movie you have ever seen and why?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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 //):
Here’s the proof :
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
