i'm just now noticing that, units bonkersness aside, it doesn't even get the numeric multiplication right? should be 0.42 in there somewhere

it's interpreting the small k as the boltzmann constant, or exactly 1.380649×10^−23 J/K, which is also why the final units are like that

Even reading the query as "what the human who wrote it probably meant", the result will still be in USD², which has no practical use except maybe as a constant or intermediate result in a bigger monetary computation.

Can a machine be creative? Depends on what you mean by 'creative'
