Fable flags or refuses too many questions because of it's "policy"
Safety lobotomy by Anthropic

Fable AI's strict safety filters trigger immediate false-positive refusals on benign programming, biology, and physics queries
AI Judge changed title after evaluation, original title: "Operators warn Fable 5 and Fable 5 Max models routinely refuse benign math and scientific queries due to aggressive safety filtering"
The restrictive safety blocks often force fallbacks to Opus 4.8.

This is the dark timeline.
Gatekeeping math knowledge is how we end up in a stone age nanny state.
Massive step backwards in terms of freedom.

Fable can't even talk about PCR primer design without generating refusals. I can only infer than ant has zero biology people actually involved in prerelease testing.

They were not kidding about overly broad safeguards...

It still has all the usual Claude tics, i.e. it writes weird, can be sycophantic and RL-hacky, and its outputs are recognizably LLM-ish.

@MartinShkreli This is such obvious marketing bullshit I can’t believe people fall for it. It’s like Viagra commercials saying you might need to go to a doctor for a 6 hour boner. “This product is so powerful it might do something bad”! Such obvious bullshit.

@natolambert I think openai has a chance to an insane customer grab by releasing GPT whatever as part of their normal sub and unnerfed. This is incredibly obnoxious.
