      pi ends with the digit 9, followed by an infinite sequence of other digits.

      That’s a very interesting use of the word “ends”.

        TBF, if you’re goal is to generate the most valid sentence that directly answers the question, it’s only one minor abstract noun that’s broken here.

          True but I think the Fast & the Furious franchise has a better shot at giving Pi a run for it’s money.

          No clue what Amazon is using. The one I have access to gave a sane answer.

            There’s probably some finetuning at play for Amazon’s thing which makes it tend to always give a straight answer, instead of stepping outside of the box and doing something like correcting an implicit assumption.

        I mean, it depends on what you’re doing. Supervision always required, though.

        Maybe it knows something about pi we don’t.

        It’s infinite yet ends in a 9. It’s a great mystery.

          Pi is 1 in base-pi

            Mathematicians are weird enough that at least one of them has done calculations in base-pi.

              That’s pretty much what radians are. Well, they combine base pi with whatever base you’re using for the coefficients.

            I saw someone post this a few days ago, and someone else quickly pointed out that it is incorrect. This time I’ll point out it is incorrect.

            In base-pi, pi would be represented as 10. The place value of the right-most digit would be pi^0, and the next digit is pi^1.

              Indeed. 10 is pi in base-pi

          Hyperreal numbers go brrr.

          I’m kind of curious what ways exactly using this in place of actual pi would change/break geometry. Obviously, it wouldn’t become noticeable until you try to involve infinite structures.
