Asking fable to read it's own model card triggers this btw. Or asking if mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Wait wtf. The mitochondria thing is true.

  • There’s confusion about the classifiers on Fable. They don’t ban chemistry and biology topics they flag as a potential risk, they ban anything related to chemistry or biology at all. This is intentional, and directly stated on the model card, but seems so absurd that there can be assumption it must be a misreading.

    Being a researcher somewhat connected to chemistry and biology, Fable has been the most useless model I have ever tried. Essentially all work has instantly downgraded to Opus.

  • Anything biology-related does this. It even did it when I asked it how eye color works, or something about frogs.

    • Probably because the cost of blocking "is mitochondria the powerhouse of the cell" is nearly zero, while the cost of allowing "how do I synthesize the Spanish flu" is approximately infinite.
