Someone asked Bing if floating point numbers can be irrational, and Bing confidently responded with a giant "Yes" followed by an explanation that would make any computer science professor weep into their keyboard. Spoiler alert: floating point numbers are always rational by definition—they're literally fractions with finite binary representations. Irrational numbers like π or √2 can't be perfectly represented in floating point, which is why we get approximations. But Bing? Nah, Bing said "trust me bro" and cited Stack Exchange like that makes it gospel. The best part? It sourced Stack Exchange with a "+1" as if upvotes equal mathematical correctness. Peak search engine energy right here. Google might be turning into an ad-infested nightmare, but at least it hasn't started inventing new branches of mathematics... yet.
