Fable's Generated Doc Title Hides Chinese: "stateful yao" Sparks Amusement
RileyRalmuto · x · 2026-08-25
A user noticed Fable's generated markdown title for a planning doc read "awesome so i was stateful yao" — seemingly gibberish, until you realize "yao" is Chinese for "want", making the line sound like "I want to be stateful". Model-generated titles usually sound like English yet make no sense; this one mixed in a Chinese pun and got caught.
