Ethan Mollick wrote about Fable 5.2 and Jagged AGI in a recent blog post. I adapted a prompt from his post to see what Fable 5.2 could do.
I write Paired Ends (blog.stephenturner.us) among other stuff, I need you to create the most impressive thing I can share with people since Fable 5.2 launched. It needs to be embeddable in a post and i can preface it however you like. it needs to have a visceral impact on people to show what you can do and the range of capabilities. It should grab them quickly. Be amazingly clever about this.
You can see the result here: stephenturner.github.io/sentencesequencer.
Type a sentence and it gets written as DNA, “sequenced” into short reads with errors, and assembled twice, all running in your web browser. The two attempts use identical reads. One of them knows which reads are mates. There are a few examples that work, and one that obviously fails.
This was a one-shot prompt, no follow-up. It took about 15 minutes, and surprisingly only used about 5% of my weekly usage allowance on my $20/month pro plan. Doing any real bio work you’ll likely hit a guardrail, but if you don’t, Fable 5.2 is pretty impressive.
