And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
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 //):

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Would you date/marry a guy younger than you? If no, why not?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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:
In what ways does Islam oppress women?
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
