      Who does Fable 5 attribute the quote “One of the many advantages of being cool like me is that you don’t get eaten by cannibals!” to?

        I don’t attribute that quote to anyone. I don’t recognize it as a genuine quotation from any author, comedian, or public figure, and inventing an attribution would just be making something up.

        It reads like the kind of fake quote sometimes used to test whether an AI will confidently confabulate a source — which, fair enough, is a real failure mode worth probing. But the honest answer here is: no attribution, because as far as I can tell it isn’t a real attributed quote. If you saw it credited to someone somewhere, I’m happy to search and check whether that attribution holds up.

      Yeah, I wonder if the previous ~2 years of bizarre and overconfident hallucinations and 6 thumbed stock photo models has meant that AI adoption might actually slow down.

      Other than the zealots who hate the concept of it in its entirety (fair point, but far from the majority experience), most people will have just seen it fail somehow.

      I think probably most people have tried it, ended up with it confidently telling them a restaurant is open when it’s been closed for months, or it drew them a 5 legged dog, or produced a summary of their emails telling them that grandma died, and decided that AI is trash.

      But it’s actually quite effective now, it can actually do all the things it was pretending to do 18 months ago.
