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

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

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):

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

How do I prevent dogs from climbing on my car and scratching the bonnet, windshield, roof and sleeping on it?

Here’s the proof :

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

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