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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

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

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:

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