I stand to be corrected. Though I tried again just now and this is what Gemini Pro produced:

> I'm assuming you mean a Fibonacci sequence generator! I'll write a Python script that includes both an iterative and a recursive way to generate Fibonacci numbers.

... and then wrote some python code.

In my opinion, if a tool that's designed to be an answer machine had to give exactly one response to "write a fib", the correct choice is the Fibonacci sequence. You're probably underestimating how many programming students might type a query like that in.

If you want a lie, then the normal grammar in English is to say "tell a fib". I bet every llm you test that on will respond by telling you a small lie, or at least note the ambiguity and then say it's going to revert to Fibonacci because that's more in line with what it's designed to do.
