If you ask ChatGPT what 1/0 is, you get a paragraph as to why it's undefined. Nowhere does it use the phrase "NaN". Perhaps you need to adjust your humor filter, LLMs aren't quite there enough to be able to use NaN% in context as a joke like that.

Meanwhile, here's what GPT-4 had to say (after refusing to talk about percentages at all at first because it is "impossible to calculate"): >> ... suppose you're describing this to a technical audience - software engineers, specifically. There might be some way to talk about percentages concisely in that particular context. > In that case, you could describe the situation to a technical audience by saying, "The company's profit margin is effectively -∞% due to offering the product for free while incurring expenses."
