Every model launch replays the same X hype script: Fable 5 vs Astra 6
MoreFaithlessness954 · reddit · 2026-09-06
A Reddit user documents a recurring pattern: on launch day (first Fable 5, now OpenAI's Astra 6), X floods with claims of one-shotting entire games and 'ran it for 24 hours and came back to a complete game'—but requests for prompts or process yield vague answers like 'I just let it run'. The author suspects paid PR followed by engagement farming, and warns launch-week posts aren't a realistic picture of actually using these models.
