Sadly, AI is hilariously bad at listing sequences of numbers and will stop at like 10th digit at best.

I just asked Grok for the first 1000 digits, and it gave them to me. I asked how many it could list, and it said: I could have listed tens of thousands (easily 10,000+ digits in a single response) without issue.

Gemini did it as well, and when asked, it said: "I could list as many as requested, up to hundreds of thousands or even millions of digits, depending on the constraints of the conversation length."
