A user showed Fable 5.1 producing a mostly faithful recreation of Super Mario's World 1-1 with a high-effort prompt, calling it the best Mario benchmark ever. Robert Haisfield countered that the real benchmark should be level design: while the faithful recreation is impressive, he has never seen a language model create genuinely enjoyable game levels without substantial intentional human design.
