Oh another issue with BTW is that is read-only - it can't influence or actually do ANYTHING other than respond in a readonly way. Sometimes thats not what I really want.

yeah I know the BTW but often times the things I want it to do ARE, in fact, steering-related things. And yeah, I do interrupt it sometimes to force it to hear me out. Some of the questions I ask it are often also related to the work they are busy with at that moment and my questions are load-bearing. It just frustrates me so much that it doesn't do a simple "ACK". I with they were more open to pair-programming than INSISTING to do everything completely autonomously or agentic. The models continue to hallucinate and I often feel the need to steer them, but the more powerful the models get, the less interested it seem to get in my opinions/requests... Anyways... just my observation/frustration with Fable. Thanks for the reply.

You mean like the app that "controls" or "directs" it? The thing that executes the tools, etc?

should we really consider the usage of AI as "cheating"? the only reason I am asking this is because its here and its augmenting everything we do and its not going away - it is probably one of the most useful tools/inventions since the abacus and after that the calculator, in my opinion.

In South Africa we are not allowed to make use of Starlink. The reason: our government insists that the owners of Starlink give > 50% of ownership of the contract exclusively to black people (our discriminatory BBEEE that explicitly states, openly, in any advert in public, that a company is allowed to ONLY EMPLOY black people and not white people), which Elon Musk and his company refuses to do (good for them). That is the reason we can't have Starlink.

Just for interest's sake and so this continues to be visible in the world: In South Africa we are not allowed to make use of Starlink. The reason: our government insists that the owners of Starlink give > 50% of ownership of the contract exclusively to black people (our discriminatory BBEEE that explicitly states, openly, in any advert in public, that a company is allowed to ONLY EMPLOY black people and not white people), which Elon Musk and his company refuses to do (good for them).
