I suspect the error it’s making is that it knows that pi is approximately “3.14159265359…” and it knows (maybe) how to just look at the last digit of a number represented as a string, so it just grabbed that “9” at the end before the ellipses.
Though, that kinda makes it funnier/wronger given that that “9” is actually rounded up from an 8. 3.1415926535897932…
Now ask it what the last digit of pi that starts with the letter “B” is.
(There’s a guy named “Magnus Carlsen” who is arguably the best chess player of all time.)

I suspect the error is just hallucination. Most LLMs don’t do anything even resembling reasoning, so I don’t think your logic holds.
You’re right, i guess it just hallucinates what it thinks a chess player name sounds like, and also hallucinates something starting with B.
I think it was unironically AnarchyChess leaking.
“Finding random lying machines in random spots” makes me picture someone just walking around when suddenly a cash register or a vending machine starts spouting bullshit at them.
Well, it is correct that there are infinite numbers after “9”.
Yes, an infinite number of digits after the last digit.
Powerful computers and algorithms.
