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

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

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

How airline fees have turned baggage into billions - BBC

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:

Does the interpretation of the Book of בראשית create in all generations the Chosen Cohen People יש מאין?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

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):
