teortaxesTex muses that LLMs may bust through 'elegant' math results—turning 3 into 2.95, -1 into -0.7902, π into 0.18π—wrecking mathematical aesthetics much as irrational numbers shocked the Pythagoreans. He adds that mafs is safe, since these numbers can usually be traced back to whole numbers upstream.
