Just today I asked Claude Fable to take an SVG map and add a circle with a 150 mile radius around a specific city, cutting off the circle at the edge of certain boundaries. It came back a minute later with more or less exactly what I wanted, saving me maybe 5 to 10 minutes of photoshop time. It’s almost certainly not perfect, but I didn’t need it to be perfect, just a legible representation for a group of 20ish people.

OTOH I had Fable laying out a 3d broadcast room, and as part of the assets it sourced, it grabbed a camera. Makes sense. There were a lot of problems with the scene - backwards facing props and clipping everywhere. But the true coup de grace was a mansized, more like a giant sized, 35mm camera pointing at everything. I was seriously confused for a minute until I realized what had happened.
