    So, just like a model to generate pics gives me characters with 11 fingers on their hands, and a model to generate something gives me POV-Ray code to draw a cylinder when asked for a Moebius stripe, this thing is going to tell us of many beautiful worlds with Pi ranging between 2 and 33?

      In a non-Euclidean space you can have values of pi that aren’t even constant. The first that came to mind was the surface of a sphere. This is actually an interesting problem.

        Yes, bad choice of words, the point is that the model is going to generate loads of garbage imitating scientific text, as if real humans making errors (or sometimes intentionally putting out dubious works, fabricating experimental data etc) were not enough.
