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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

With Opella proceeds burning a hole in its pocket, Sanofi snaps up Blueprint for $9.1B - Fierce Pharma

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

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!

Why do wives cheat with black guys?

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:

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

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

To the reader/asker:

Here’s the proof :

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