I used Fable a lot in the brief time it was available. It did seem to want to push back on some of my instructions, but it was easy to say “I’ve decided we’re doing this” and that was the end of it.

I could see how some people would be offended by another party even questioning anything they say. For people who have come to view Claude as an another human conversation partner this questioning can be aggravating. For these people I suggest utilizing the features to set your own prompt instructions. If you want an unquestioning yes-man you can have it with a few sentences added to your system prompt.

I would also suggest learning to not humanize the LLM. It’s just words chained together. There is no social order to establish and no offense to be taken. Nothing is a “confrontation”. Just tell it what to do and move on.
