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

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:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
To the reader/asker:
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):
Would you let your partner cheat on you every now and again?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
