If you are still buying the AGI hype in Claude Code, this is your easy litmus test. In 99.99% of the time that Fable freaks out, a human is able to easily tell that Fable is being overly sensitive. Often to the point of not even being reasonably connected to something dangerous. If Fable was actually close to AGI, it would never freak out over basic, non-world ending things. It would know the difference between “I’m doing science” and “I’m trying to kill people with science”. The ineffectiveness of the model to detect nefarious activity is proof itself that we are not even close to AGI. Edit: since I am already seeing the wrong argument, I will address it. Fable with safety checks is NOT the same thing as Fable without safety checks. Fable has safety checks. If you didn’t have the safety checks, it would be something else, and not Fable. Perhaps Anthropic has a version of Fable with no safety checks that IS AGI. But the fact that you and I cannot access that version, means it does not exist for you and me. And unless Anthropic comes out with some way to show us “Fable, but no guardrails” then the best we can talk about is the version with guardrails. That said. If Fable without guardrails cannot tell that I am not trying to kill everyone here by predicting crystalline properties… then it is not AGI. It’s just a very, very good parrot. But again. Fable has guardrails. Whether that is the cause of it being not AGI, or a symptom of it not being AGI, it is not AGI. submitted by /u/Won-Ton-Wonton
