As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Would you recommend 'My Holo Love' as a good Kdrama for someone who is new to the genre?
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:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
