And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Here’s the proof :
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
What are some things that normal people do that religious people call sins?
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):
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
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:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
