Fable 5 flags a normal career-planning prompt as unsafe
sumitdotml · x · 2026-07-22
The post shows a screenshot where Fable 5’s safeguards flagged a normal request about career context and future paths.
The on-screen message says the safeguards are intentionally broad for now and may incorrectly flag safe, routine coding, cybersecurity, or biology work, adding that the model was switched to Opus 4.8. The result is a small but shareable example of overbroad safety filtering producing a false positive on an ordinary prompt.
