How do you know when someone really loves you?

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

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

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

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
