To the reader/asker:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
I have the power to talk to aliens through using telepathy. Why do people think I'm crazy?
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:
Which race of women are the hottest?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

What toxic behavior has been normalized by society?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
What are some small, random things that annoy you to no end?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
