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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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:
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.

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
How do you feel about Trump saying Ukraine 'should have never started war with Russia'?
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
