Yeah, I'm actually kinda curious to see what it would do, since the command is pretty nonsensical. Probably just an immediate failure along the lines of "/ is a directory"?
Given the Linux initramfs targets a block device as a file that then gets mounted as the persistent root filesystem, I don't think it would really be possible to unmount / and replace the location with a file. Root isn't represented as a file or directory in any filesystem structure and is a construct of many Unix and Unix-like kernels.

Anyone who gets a wrong answer from a LLM got what was coming to them
You asked a weird, nonsensical question and got a weird answer. Nothing to see here.
The issue is that AI never says no or tells you that your question is not valid
Because AI doesn't know what words mean.
Certainly a failure but at least it wouldn't actually be as harmful as it reads, given / is a directory and the assumption you're not root.

Can it not be a directory? How?

TBF, that's pretty much how mystical it is: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-clear-ram-memory-cache-buffer-and-swap-space-on-linux/
I do like the picture, too.
I have a feeling how it came up with that
