A compound interest calculator, which someone made with Copilot, is not correct.
It took the effective annual interest rate and divided by 12, which results in a higher monthly interest rate than it should of course for a monthly rate compounded monthly.
So again, I'm so VERY glad to have seen trillions of dollars poured into this absolute trash.
(LLMs do not have any capability to deal with math properly so this was the expected result, by the way.)
