    Apparently Bing Chat is able to do some maths. I asked Bing multiple variations of this question based on different speeds of the solar sail (e.g. what if it travels at 50% the speed of light). It was able to calculate both the travel time and the time dilation.

    If it is only pulling the answer from web sources, how did it handle the variable speeds?

      It’s also possible that Bing’s chatbot is using a math-specific plugin in addition to its websearching plugin.
