# Can AI do something genuinely creative?

Folks, we need to talk about Fable 5.2, the latest model from Anthropic. Yesterday I read Ethan Mollick’s piece about it, and around the same time I got access to the model. Overnight I asked it to show me what it could do, using a slightly tweaked version of Ethan’s prompt. You can see the result in the video, but then again, you can’t. Take a look at the link in the first comment instead. Then let’s discuss whether AI has now taken the step into genuine creativity. I know what I think. What a time to be alive.

Can AI make you laugh? A roast puts one particular kind of creativity to the test.

## Original wording

Hörni, vi behöver prata om Fable 5.2 - den senaste modellen från Anthropic. Igår läste jag Ethan Mollicks text om den, och ungefär samtidigt fick jag tillgång till modellen. Över natten bad jag den visa vad den går för, med hjälp av en lätt justerad version av Ethans prompt. Resultatet ser du i videon, men ändå inte. Kika istället på länken i första kommentaren. Och låt oss sedan diskutera om AI nu har tagit steget till äkta kreativitet, eller inte. Jag vet vad jag tycker. What a time to be alive.
