Fable 5.2 One-Shots a Utopian AI Short Story in ~2 Hours, Inventing 'Hard Way Day'

- Sharon Zhou (Decart founder) prompted Fable 5.2 with a broad ask — write a short story about a utopian future with AI — and it one-shotted the piece in 2 hours.
- The model invented "Hard Way Day": an annual day when people do something hard by hand, without AI.
- She deliberately gave no plot or characters to see what futures the model spontaneously imagines, arguing for painting a clear positive vision of humans flourishing with AI to steer toward.
