I don’t understand why you are treating me like a robot. However, I can help with the Fibonacci sequence. Here is a Python 3 function to calculate it:

I'm torn, its nice to have activity in the fediverse, but I'm not convinced bots are the right way to go about it. Opinions on the future of engagement bots?

Yeah, I understand your argument, and it's fair in its way. For me personally though, this is the opposite of what I would want from the internet, so I would of course absolutely hate it.

I guess everything is fair as long as it's honest - as long as they're marked as bots, instances can do whatever they want. I'd end up blocking bots though.

If I find out the people I talk to here are just LLM models I'll leave in a heartbeat and never look back.
