Asking Fable 5.1 to Rewrite 'LLM Slop' Docs Immediately Trips Its 'General Harm' Safeguard

Matt Parlmer tried Fable 5.1, which people say sounds less obnoxious than typical LLM output, by asking it to pick five paragraphs of 'LLM slop' from his docs corpus and rewrite them to sound more human.

The request immediately tripped the model's 'general harm' safeguard and was blocked. The irony: a task explicitly about de-slopping AI text gets flagged as harmful, making it a textbook example of safeguard overtriggering.
