It's not the AI doing math wrong as a lot of people are commenting. It's the way it's parsing your sentence. When it reads 'the present value of $100' it thinks that today's value of the investment is $100, and it needs to determine what the investment was worth 386 years ago (assuming a 3% interest rate).
Almost like there's a reason we use highly specific languages when telling a cpu what to do
No, you're wrong too. If it was doing that, the answer would not have been 0.736 as that would grow to ~$21,200 over 386 years.
