Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
The stronger opinion is that fasting is not invalidated if there is no serious intent to report, whether it is done in jest or as a joke.

If one did not intend to narrate the reality, their fast is not invalidated, regardless of whether they intended the meaning or not.
